it is my pleasure. Been living here for 6 years and things are always changing. In Hat Yai you can't even get your non o anymore you must leave the country.
they took our documents and on the second day I received a call stating that my wife must have her 1 year visa. But I will go back in November. Luckily we get two months on arrival
this is how I tied mine last week. Because if I am not mistaken if it is your first time applying for a non b you will only have the wp3 letter from your employer. Once you receive your official book and received your one year extension you can apply for the non o.
You can only get your visa once your husband has completed his first 3 months and received his work permit (book). I would recommend getting a visa on arrival and then to go back to Laos again in 2 to 3 months.
if your husband has 3 months now currently he can extend in Thailand at immigration for 1 year. Once he has extended this you can go and apply for your non o at a neighbouring country. I would recommend going to Laos as it is very easy and there is no long waiting time.
