My American wife is working with an NGO. She has a non-b. I'm also American and was teaching with a non-b, but we moved to the boondocks and I'm no longer working. Is it possible for me to get a NON-O marriage visa? If so, how?

Thanks.

There is no marriage visa, but you can be a depended of your wife. Rules are that you need to be married and living together and your wife must be on an extension of stay herself.

You would need to go to immigraiton with her and hsow that she is working legaly in Thailand with an extension of stay and request that you stay with her.

Thanks. Can this be done in the US? Or is it better to do in Bangkok? Is there a list of what we need to present?

First she has to have an extension of stay using normal paperwork. Unless she can qualify all bets are off.

Once she has that you can take copy of her passport and your marriage paperwork to obtain a non immigrant O visa.

After you have that it is your turn to extend as her dependent husband.

No it can not be done in the US.

It has to be done at Immigration in Thailand.

This is the rule. As said before, your Wife has to be on annual extensions from Immigration . Not a Visa.
