is a Trailing Spouse Non–O E–Visa available at any Thai Embassy/Consulate nowadays??

Why have you and your child not yet applied for a DTV E–Visa at any Thai Embassy/Consulate under the DTV Dependents Category (since your husband already has a DTV Visa)??

Yes, local Thai Immigration Offices have granted an Extension of Stay to passports with less than 6 months validy (expires in less than 6 months)

However, any Extension of Stay granted will NOT be longer than the Expiration Date of the Passport, that is, if an Extension is for longer than the Passport's Expiration, then the Extension will only be granted for up to the Expiration Date of the Passport

The same concept of a Passport Expiring "soon" applies to a Thai Immigration Officer granting Entry into Thailand, but individual airlines may have a different policy and may or may not allow boarding on their individual flight to Thailand, so there are fewer cases for Thai Immigration Officers at Arrival and Entry into Thailand than those already in Thailand requesting an Extension of Stay, because of various individual circumstances and situations have a passport that is about to expire and have not yet renewed their passport before requesting an Extension of Stay at the local Thai Immigration Office....

This is an excerpt from 1 of 2 Thai Immigration "Field Manuals" publicly available for download.

This specific Thai Immigration "Field Manual" is สตม108 / imm108

Note that the legal basis for such a policy is rooted in the Thai Immigration Act 2522 (1979) itself

1.) You wife with a Philippines Passport or any passport, such as Australia Passport, have had incorrect DTV Entry Stamps given by Thai Immigration Arrival Officers before, so this instance is not first time and will not be the last time

2.) Your wife has subsequently been given the Correct DTV Entry Stamp by the Thai Immigration Officer on Arrival at Phuket Airport

3.) Nothing to be worried about and any errors have already been corrected

4.) No need to follow up on this DTV Entry Stamp Error as it has already been corrected

5.) a very good Reminder to all to Always Double-Check your Entry Stamps by any immigration officer Anywhere in the world immediately upon arrival, so as to catch any potential errors as quickly as possible!

This Facebook Group is a great and informative FB Group, but, specifically for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), i would recommend to get more information at another FB Group centered around the DTV, and, you will find many Members and Moderators here also over there

1.) India passport holders can apply for a DTV E–Visa at ANY Thai Embassy/Consulate;

in fact, you perhaps may find it easier and more straightforward to apply at a Thai Embassy/Consulate nearby Thailand than in your "home country" of India

2.) India passport holders can make entry into Thailand with free Visa Exemption entry for a stay of 60 days per entry....

I was thinking more along the lines that holding an 1-Year Multiple Entry Non–O E–Visa could better assist in Opening a Thai Bank Account more so than anything else in particular.

But, yes, those holding a Non–O based on Marriage to a Thai Spouse, or an Extension based on Marriage to a Thai Spouse can obtain a Work Permit without the need to change to a Non–B Visa

Anonymous participant No, I understand and have seen most Thai Embassies/Consulate say to apply within 3 months of "intended" travel, but life happens, intentions changes, plans are modified....

You have a duly issued DTV E–Visa valid for 5 years. Whether you use it to enter Thailand the same day it is first issued or use it for making entry into Thailand 4 years, 11 months after it is issued for the very first time, it is a valid Thai E–Visa and can use it whenever during its validity period as it is also multiple entry....
