  1. Sorry, I thought it was A negative not O negative. So, I'm out.
  2. I'm A negative. 47 years old. I donate often in Rayong. I'm actually due to donate again. The problem is I can't get to Bangkok but if there is a way I can donate in Rayong I'll be happy to. Let me know!
  3. Non Imm. O Visa Run (based on marriage) May 2024 Update: Savannaket Consulate Visa run complete! Here is the latest info. Documents Needed: Filled in application form ( https://savannakhet.thaiembassy.org/th/page/104405-visa-application-form?menu=5d84a44c15e39c26b4004545 ) Two passport photos Original passport Copy of your passport Copy of your Laos visa Copy of your Thai spouse's passport (if applicable) Copy of your spouse's Thai ID card Copy of your Thai spouse's Tabian Baan (Blue house registration book) Copy of your marriage certificate Kor Ror 2 document Letter from your Thai Bank confirming the 400,000 baht balance (for 1 year multi-entry visa) Copy of your updated bank book showing over 400,000 baht + original book (for 1 year multi-entry visa) Copy of your Yellow House Registration book (if you have one) Copy of your Pink Thai ID Card (if you have one) If you have Children with your Thai spouse (if applicable): Copy of your child's passport Copy of your child's Thai ID card Copy of your child's Thai Tabian Baan page (Blue house registration book) Copy of your child's birth certificate **Your Spouse and Children don't need to be present for your visa application** Show Original Documents: Marriage certificate Child's birth certificate Original Thai Bank Book (for 1 year multi-entry visa) Visa Fees: Non-O 3 months: 2,000 baht Non-O 1 year multi-entry: 5,000 baht Be prepared to wait! The consulate can get very busy. I arrived at 8:30 am and waited for 5 hours. There were a large number of people from Thai visa agencies, along with regular walk-in applicants, which created a long line. I received a pickup queue number 258, and there were still many people behind me. The actual processing at the window only took about a minute. You might get lucky and encounter a shorter wait time if you visit on a day when there aren't any large groups from Thai visa agencies applying. Money Requirements: I had over 400,000 baht in my account for 10 days. The consulate offered me a 1-year multi-entry visa based on my bank statements, but I chose the 3-month Non-O visa instead. In a few months I'll apply for the 1-year extension in Thailand. Several people in line applied for the 1-year multi-entry visa but were only granted the 3-month Non-O visa because they lacked bank statements. This confirms that you can obtain the 3-month Non-O visa without showing any bank documents, but bank statements are required for the 1-year multi-entry option. This can change anytime but for the time being this seems to be the rules. I hope this helps!!

  5. Okay, looks like I need to be extra prepared this year. Bringing a couple of extra documents just in case, plus anything else I can think of. Last year's process was smooth, but who knows what they'll require this time. I'll be in Savannakhet on Tuesday and will update you on how it goes. Planning to apply for a 3-month Non-Imm O (marriage) visa, then extend it to a year in Thailand later. I think this is easier.
  6. Regarding the application + documents for this year, is it necessary to submit two copies of all documents, or is one copy sufficient?
  7. If you have a 1 year multi-entry you have to leave the country every 90days and you can only extend it one time. So you will have 1 year plus the 2 month extension. As far as leaving the country. I stayed at least one night outside of Thailand before returning. Some people have said they have crossed the border and back to Thailand the same day without issue but others have had problems. I just avoided any problems and stayed a night. I hope this helps!
  8. How long does the 400k have to be in the bank for? 2 months? or as long as you have 400k in the bank they are happy?
  9. Im going in the next few weeks. I'll report and let people know the situation! Thanks so much for your help.
  10. This is my situation, I currently have over 400,000 baht in my bank account, but it hasn't been there for two consecutive months. I'm unsure now if Savannakhet requires the funds to be in the account for two months to qualify for a 1 year visa. A shorter holding period, like 3 days, wouldn't be a problem. However, if they do require two months, then applying for a 90-day visa with a one-year renewal in Thailand seems like a better option. Since I travel frequently, a direct one-year renewal isn't needed. Plus I hate leaving 400k in the bank for 2 month not being able to use it! Just double-checking about the 90-day marriage visa (Non-O). Do I really not need to show any money to get it? or at least not 400k in the bank for 2 months? I just don't want to travel all the way up there and find out i need to show it. haha.
  11. Hi everyone, I'm planning to apply for a 90-day Non-Immigrant O visa based on marriage, likely at the Thai embassy in either Savannakhet or Vientiane. It would be great to hear from anyone who's recently been through this process! Specifically, I'm wondering about the financial requirements. Does anyone know if proof of funds (showing 400,000 baht in your bank) is required for the 90-day visa? Or is the requirement more for the 1-year multi-entry visa? Last year the Thai consulate in Savannakhet didn't require the 400,000 baht for the 1-year visa, but I think the policy has changed. They are asking for it now. I'm just not sure if they want the 400K bank statement for the 90day or just for the 1 year visa? If anyone has any insights or recommendations on the easiest place to apply for this visa in Southeast Asia, I'd really appreciate it!
  12. Do you know if this is the same requirement at the Thai Embassy in Vientiane?
  13. Can I apply for the 90 day Non Imm O marriage visa at any Thai consulate or embassy and not have to show my bank statement? Or is this only at Savannakhet?
  14. Do you receive a 60 day extension or is it less? Thank so much for replies!!!!!
  15. Can you get an extension on the 90 day Non Imm O Marriage visa like you can on the 1 year multi entry?
  16. This might mess up my plans! What are the requirements if I apply only for a 90 day Non Imm O marriage visa. What funds do I have to show? Are the documents the same?
  17. Hi everyone, I'm planning to re-apply for my 1 year Non-Immigrant O multi entry (marriage) visa in Savannakhet in the next few weeks. Just wanted to confirm if anyone has recently applied for this visa type at the consulate there? Have there been any changes to the required documents since last year (2023)? Or is the above still correct? Do you have to show any bank statements this year? Thanks in advance for any insights!
  18. Quick question. My Mom is here from Canada. She is staying with my wife and I at our house for a month. Do we have to fill out a TM30 form? She has a 30 day entry stamp. Thank for any replies!
  19. Is this correct? If you have a one-year Non-Immigrant O Marriage Visa (leave the country every 90 days) and you leave the country with a week left on your 1 year visa, when you re-enter Thailand you will receive another 90-day stamp even if there is, lets say 1 day left before the year visa expires? After that when you 90 day is about to expire, you can apply for a 60-day extension?
  20. I totally forgot about that. I have plenty of time before my visa expires. I'm on a 1 year non Imm O (married) multi entry (leave every 90days) That's what I'll do. I'll apply for the 60 day extension. Thank for the reply!
  21. I have a one-year Thai non-immigrant O multi entry visa, which requires me to leave every three months. If I leave Thailand and apply for another non-immigrant O visa with a month and a half remaining on my current visa, will I lose the remaining time on my current visa? I will not be able to leave Thailand closer to when my visa expires, so I will need to apply for a new visa over a month early. Thanks for any replies!
  22. Yeah, I was there on a Monday as well. I lined up at around 8:15am and was done by 10am. I had receipt #50. By 8:30 the line was way down the road. It's best to get there by 8am. You'll should be done before 10am if you can get there at that time.
