Hi! I need help about my husbands visa? We're so confuse about this - my husband got non-b visa ( that is 90 days effectivity ) then he had working permit. What will be the next step he should do? Thanks!

If his job and company qualifies for it he can get a 1 year extension of stay based upon working. Then you could get an extension as his dependent.

I see, but within those 90 days should he go to the immigration for appearance?thanks a lot for your answers.

If his job and company qualifies then he should apply for the extension of stay about 30 days prior to his "B" visa expiring.

There is no other requirement for him to visit immigration.

He can go to immigration to apply for the extension during the last 30 days of his entry.

He will need to take various copies of documents that company needs to supply. They should know what is required.

Typical list of required paperwork,etc for an Extension of Permission to Stay based on Working in the Kingdom of Thailand is attached below.

You do not need any specific visa to apply for a Work Permit, but you do need a non "b' entry/visa or suitable extension of permission to stay in your passport for a Work Permit to be actually issued or renewed.
