Several land borders require 2 nights out of the country, a flight ticket and proof of funds for a 60 day visa exempt entry. How does immigration approach people like OP that is married and do this entry with the purpose of restarting the process, to convert the entry to a NON-O based on marriage and 12 month extension at a local immigration office?

I have had the same experience. Even though the bills were in perfect condition, the lady scrutinized the bills as if it was forensic science. It took her a minute of relentless search to find an invisible spot at the edge of the bill and refused to accept it. We had a heated argument until she accepted the equivalent amount in Baht.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Unless you will apply for a Multi-Entry Non-Immigrant O, the embassy in Vientiane doesn't list any financial requirement for a Single-Entry Non-Immigrant O (Family member of a Thai national). As an option to Savannakhet?

Last week the border was closed. The problem was the Myanmar side, they didn't even let foreigners leave the country. According to the Thai immigration, they closed after Songkran.

Can you go to the consulate without an appointment?
