Hi All,

 

A quick question, can you get a Non Imm O Multiple in Ho Chi Minh? If so what are the requirements and how long does it take?

 

I did search the forum but the info is a little dated and want to ensure I have the latest details before committing to renewing there .

 

Thanks in advance.

I assume you want a multiple entry non-o visa based upon marriage which as far as I know is only one they will issue.

You will need your marriage certificate plus a copy, copies of your wife's house book registry and ID card signed by her. A short letter from your wife requesting you be issued the visa and that your are still married.

Apply the morning of one day and pick up the next afternoon.

If you decide to go and get the Visa here, please post a trip report with the up to date info regarding documents needed etc.

Much appreciated....

Thanks very much guys for the info, a few more questions please: 

 

Looking at the website they say the copy of the Thai Spouse ID and House Book must be certified, I presume they mean just signed? 

 

Also is it ok that I go alone and not have the wife with me? The marriage cert is from a European country so I don't need translated version do I? 

 

Lastly, is there no financial requirements at HCMC? I thought Savannakhet was the only regional embassy that had no financial requirements? I have a bank book with over 500k in it so do I need to bring it along?

 

 Thanks again and I will report back once I complete the visa application.

 It means copies signed by her.

You can go alone. Translation is needed if the marriage certificate is not in English.

No financial proof is needed according to recent reports.

Reports for HCMC doing them is fairly recent.

Thanks again Ubon Joe, I will report on my experience there when complete. 

To the OP or anyone else with recent experience, does anyone have up-to-date information about the financial requirements for HCMC? Also, is it possible to obtain a single entry here? 

 

Many thanks,

 

Andy.

the recent reports are that no financial requirements are needed and no one has ever came back to say they have experienced any different so i would say it's safe to assume this is still the case. not sure about your second point but i think they only do multi but someone else may be able to clarify

If a embassy or consulate will issue a multiple entry visa they will certainly issue a single entry visa. No reason for them not to.

okey dokey

Although, If you are going to bother going there at all and stand in the line and wait, for a little extra money I would definitely get the "multi" option...

Anyone got any idea what the wait is there?    Busy consulate??

last time i was there was year before last for biz visa. it was pretty much empty. 2 people there. it's tiny. can't see there being much difference now

**apologies, was for a non o also. had the evidence of funds that time as thought i needed them, was refused because of unclear photo in my passport due to water damage. didn't even get to the stage of checking my form. i had used that passport for a long time at different places that didn't pick up on that i might add including going through airports etc. it was actually around january 2016. if it's anything like that, which i am told it is then its not busy at all

Guys, where can I download the correct Non Imm O Visa application form for HCMC, I went to the website and downloaded the one and only form they have for applying for a visa http://www.thaiembassy.org/hochiminh/en/services/2886 but it doesn't look like any other previous Non Imm O forms I have filled out.

 

Thanks as I plan to apply soon and will report back here on my experience there. Paddy 

It is the same form for all visa applications. 

The form on their website is the MFA's standard form. Not sure if they have one of their own like most other have.

I assume this is the one you were looking at, http://www.thaiembassy.org/abudhabi/contents/files/services-20120705-180020-288642.pdf

Thanks Joe, thats the one. Cheers. Paddy
