I had a non-b when I worked at a bangkok university teaching from 2003-2005. I got married in 2004 and tried to get my husband a non-b. At immigrantion I was told that: "In Thailand, men take care of women, not woman take care of man." My husband continued to do visa runs every 2-3 months.

I am back in Bkk now and have the opportunity to work at a school, get non-b and work visa- all the legit stuff to stay. I want to do this, but I want to be able to find a way for my husband to have a non-b, or something comparable. He is a free-lance computer programmer and has clients in Europe and the US so there is no need for him to find a job in BKK.

Does any one know the rules on getting a spouse a visa, if the wife has a non-b?

Thanks for any help or leads

Singapore also has this outdated idea that men support women, not the other way round.

However they did grant a visa to the lady's husband, and that was over 10 years ago.

He'll only get a Non-Immigrant 'O' visa as your dependant.

But that is all he needs if she gets an extension of stay as then it can be extended on a yearly basis by being a family member of someone allowed to extend in Thailand under 7.5 or 7.6
