First your spouse would have to apply for a single entry non-o visa at at a embassy or consulate. To apply for the visa they will need your marriage certificate plus a copy, copies of your passport photo page and extension of stay stamp. Some embassies and consulates will also want a letter from your school requesting it.

Then during the last 30 days of the 90 day entry from the non-o visa they could apply for a extension of stay at immigration valid to the date your extension ends. About the same documents are required at immigration as those for the visa. But your marriage certificate will need to be legalized by your embassy or an authority in the country it was issued.

Dependent Visa - that's the 1st time I've heard of that type of visa. If a foreigner is dependent on their Thai gf or wife to financially support them, can they also apply for a Dependent visa like the OP's case? Or is it only for foreigners who are dependent on another foreigner?

It is only for family members of those on certain extensions of stay that can get the extension.

There is no visa/permit issued based on financial dependancy.

 

The OP is enquiring about visas/permits that are issued based on relationship. If a foreigner is issued permission to stay it is possible for their spouse, child, etc. to be granted permission to stay too. The second foreigner effectively piggybacks the permission to stay of the first.

 

The OP’s wife would be applying as his spouse, not dependant.
