  1. Dear Community, I am married to a Thai and, in recent years, I have always obtained a Non-Immigrant O Visa with Multiple Entries from the Thai Consulate in Savannakhet or Ho Chi Minh City. This kind of visa was valid for one year, with the requirement to leave the country every 90 days.This arrangement suited me very well, as I travel frequently and leave Thailand every few months anyway. I also enjoyed the short trips to Laos or Vietnam much more than applying for the marriage visa inside Thailand. My current visa will expire in January 2026. While planning my next application, I noticed that several things have changed. On the e-Visa Portal the Non-Immigrant O Visa now appears to be valid for only 90 days, and I could not find an option for a one-year Non-O Visa with multiple entry as before. Am I correct in assuming that this visa category is no longer available? Is there still any way to obtain a one-year Non-Immigrant O Visa based on marriage with multiple entry, either in Savannakhet or at another consulate? Thank you in advance for any insights or experiences you can share!
  2. Hello everybody, I have a multiple entry non o-visa based on marriage, valid for 1 year. Normally I am granted 90 days stay each time I enter the country. This time I entered Thailand from Laos through a very small border in Uttaradit, where rarely a Falang is seen. First, the friendly immigration officer stamped a maximum stay of 30 days in my passport. Fortunately, I checked and made her aware of the error. I said I have a visa and should get 90 days. Then she looked at my non o year visa and stamped me the date in the passport until which the visa is valid. This is valid until July 15, 2023, which means she granted me a stay of 7 months! I told her that this was wrong and I would only get 90 days, but she did not understand this, asked her supervisor, who agreed with her. I had no time to further discuss and took it because it is not to my disadvantage I think. My question now is whether I can really refer to this stamp and have no consequences to fear, should I stay in the country for 7 months non-stop or do I have to go to immigration and make them aware of the wrong stamp and let them correct it?
