So If I understand you correctly this is the first marriage extension on your new passport, do you have your old one??? with the same stamp as the one I posted? I just put in the new PP number myself. having said that I have never had to have a "verified translation" ever, I don't even understand why they need it, can they not read English as in your PP ? But when I renewed my OZ PP back in Sept 22 you had to go to the OZ embassy in person, to apply, I understand now that is not necessary so maybe that has changed the goal posts. But personally I would try with your old translation, how long before your extension date, can you apply? 45 or only 30 days.??

First you need to find out how long it takes to get a translation, (if needed) and if they can do it by post or you have to attend the embassy, which may need an appointment. I would e-mail them first or maybe check out there website, in Thailand. Sorry I can't help more.

 

I did mine online. Printed the form and had some passport photos done sent by mail.

Also the old passport doesn't expire until 30 days after the new one is sent. 

I needed to transfer my stamps, immigration also stamped my old passport with a reference to the new one.

Here?  Where's here?

 

Most Immigration offices have a maximum validity of the Kor Ror 2 they will accept. For example, for Udon Thani Immigration, it's 7 days.

 

As per @Lite Beer, a copy can be obtained from the nearest (any) Amphur on producing your ID.

Is the KR.22 different? I haven't updated mine in at least 2 years, accepted every time at udon.

Does anyone know the pickup times for visa's now at savannakhet ?

There is allot less people now, i arrived late 10:30am and could walk straight though.

I want to add some facts.

I have been going to Savanakhet for the last 7 years.

1800baht entry, I paid 1400baht not so long ago. I'm Australian it use to be 32-33usd.

Immigration didn't stamp my wife's passport, despite giving it to them. This is partly my fault but they also normally check before exit as well. 

I showed up at 10am gates were closed, immigration requested a bribe 200baht, happy with that considering how long the line was.

I was 198, the line was huge.

Going back to Thailand we were dragged to the head honcho office for no stamp. 3,000 baht, I talked him down. 

Completed a visa run to savanakhet.

Cost for Laos VOA is $40 USD or 1500baht so it was slightly cheaper paying in thb. 

I'm Aussie which is normally cheaper (32usd) but was charged 40.

They charged everyone a stamp fee 100baht each. 

Consulate had no line up, straight though to the window and out in 5mins. 

Agoda was having a fit when we booked our hotel rooms, 700baht which is double normal rate at Avalon 2 counter.

One of my friends (foreigner) is leaving soon with his Thai child, however he hasn't spoken to the mother in years will there be any issues leaving with just him with nothing signed?

He has his ID card, and will be trying to get a passport this week.

Just “bumping” this thread to see if anyone has any more recent info as I’m planning to apply for multi-O (marriage) in Savannakhet next month. 

I'll be making the run early October. 

Looks like not much has changed from previous years.

So, went to savannakhet and got one year multi entry. Took with me following docs:-

Marriage cert, original and copy

Kor Roh 2  (wife got from amphur cost 1 (yes One) baht

copy of my passport

copy of wifes passport main page and copy of wifes ID card

copy of yellow house book with pages showing wife name and also pages with childrens names on

filled in application form

passport sized photos (more on this later)

Absolute breeze at consulate, (open between 09:00 and 11:00) lady checked docs, attached passport sized photos to application for me.

Paid 5000bht and received receipt and ticket for collection next day at 14:00

 

The only downside to be wary of.... Caught bus from Mukdahan bus station to Laos. Bus stops at Thai immigration, get off bus, go through immigration to get stamped out, get back on bus, no problem for me but only half the passengers had got through immigration and back on the bus before the driver closed the doors and set off to the Laos side of the bridge. They would then probably have to wait for one hour for the next bus!

 

Got visa on arrival in Laos (1500bht and 30mins) went through immigration and took tuk tuk. 

Wife had called me to say i had left my Photos on the table at home.  Tuk Tuk driver who spoke good English took me to photo shop,  explained to the owner what i needed and took me to consulate once i had photos... 200 baht

 

On return, i took tuk tuk to the Laos immigration, straight after getting stamped out, buy your bus ticket back to mukdahan before going through turnstile. The booth is hard to spot as looks same as the IO booth

 

Hope this helps somebody

 

Thanks for posting this, I'm thinking of doing the same this time. 

Also from past experience they use to accept a foreign marriage certificate without translation or stamps. 

This may not be the case anymore.. 

Has Lao visa entry price changed ? It use to be 32usd (paid in USD) for me being an Aussie. 

Does the consolate still do visa processing only a few days a week and pickup the next day ? Monday, Wednesday, Thursday pickup was the days in-between.

The only 60 day extension possible would be reason "to visit family" 

BTW any extension would need to be applied for prior to expiry of current permission of stay.

Can you apply for this off a 1 year extension ? i had one previously nearly two years back.
 

Hi, I'm currently on a non-o which (1 year ) extension. My visa expires early October if I was to apply for a exit stamp then return before my visa expires does that grant me a longer term to stay without needing to apply for a new visa?

Did entry visa change ? it was all was always $30ish usd or 1500baht. Paying in USD being cheaper. 2k baht to laos is nearly  double

What is required to get a Thai Child an ID card ? my friend (foreigner) has
Translation of his Passport MFA/stamped
Sons (Copy of house book) 

He does not have
His ex wife
Original House book
Yellow Book (stolen by ex)


 



 

You might be able to use Twillio or a third party voip provider that uses it or a similar service. 

I have my aussie mobile number hosted and forward my bank txt to my email.

Alternatively roaming or use an app to forward messages. 

Did she have fake ID too ? These sorts of places require ID as well, so even if she didn't get caught here she would have later.

This looks quite a bit redundant to me. 

I have done Kyc twice in less then a year on Bitkub, all the questions, selfies and things goes well beyond most other exchanges and even banks already.

Not Sputnik and the Indian stuff BTW?

Spend an extra 100 Bht on a genuine charger helps

yeah or don't use it while its charging. sleeping on it in heat, maybe water from sweat or a power surge. quick google search and another case come up

A case in point: A 24-year-old factory worker in Thailand was found dead in his bedroom in 2019. His cell phone was plugged into the wall while he listened to music on his earbuds. For some unlucky reason, electricity surged into the phone, making contact with his ears. Police believe that a short circuit or a faulty charger was to blame.

I never went to a hospital, vitamins from the clinic cured me from pollution symptoms.

I always get it for free from CM immigration. I guess fee/no fee depends on type of visa. 
but I remember some years ago I paid 100-200 at CW Bangkok and received a receipt. I just don't remember what type of visa I was on at the time. 

My office is 500baht when I had mine done, they also charge 2000baht for extensions not 1900baht. 

There's a few other service fees too.

How did they expect to get away with it?

 

There's hotels with no rooms did this, paying guests cash to check in.

I haven't even tried to go back as there is outbound ban on travel too. You need to submit an application to prove the travel is essential, and many people got knocked back. I'll go back when both the quarantine and the travel bans are removed. 

If he had done the same he had 60k AUD plus 10-20k more from super that's up to 80k AUD. 

That's more then enough, with some investments he could have covered basic living costs in a low cost city. 

There is now less flights despite the government spinning story's they have more, now with emirites significant reduction of flights you have very few options to get back except the government flight and a few Singapore flights. If you do get back then your up for more cash
