ubonjoe Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Copy of your wife's ID card signed by her instead of her passport is normally used. Everything else is OK. Your son'ts birth certificate is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savannakhet is a fantastic place to renew visas. btw, it's there that I caught a form of typhus. It's also there I had one of the best seafood platters close to / opposite the bus terminal. cross the street where Leader cyber cafe and Avalon residence are located.

chowny77 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Been to Savannakhet 3 times now and no real problems. The last time I went in December I had everything they needed plus 2 originals of the paper to show that I am still married and they said they wanted copies of them. I just refused to go and make copies just to waste my time and money when the originals are fine. They finally accepted them and took the cash, picked up my passport with the visa. I guess they just like to act like asses sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean (both signatures) on the original marriage certificate? Certainly signing an original document would be defacing it. Unless you mean that both parties should sign the copy? On the marriage details (tabian somrot) portion, both my wife's and my signatures are already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a Kor Ror 2 marriage registry for a marriage registered here. Not normally asked for at the Savannakhet unless you do not have your original marriage certificate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to go before 28th of Feb - if you still have like 2 days left (if I go on the 26th for example) do they just scrub the old one out and stick a new one in on a new page starting from the date you are there on?

Are writing about your visa expiring or the last 90 day entry that is ending on the 28th? If it is your visa you can leave and re-enter the country on the 28th and get another 90 day entry. When you apply for the new visa they do nothing with the old one. They will put a new visa sticker on an empty page in your passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbhoy Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 ahh cool - yeh I really regret not getting a one year one in November now - I do have one question though, why did they issue a one year work permit when my non O was only a 3 month single entry?

Work permits are not tied to your permit to stay in the country. To get a one year work permit you do not need a one year permit to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I went my USD was rejected although it looked fine to me. I am going next week and again have USD in good condition (my opinion) Is the exchange booth open early do you know just in case? (I never noticed it last time). Do they exchange them for free or ?. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Exchange booth is at the back of the building that just rejected your $$$s. No charge for the service. Why not take $100 in 10s with you, then they can pick and choose to their hearts content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangdio Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thanks for the info thus far. 1. Is there a single entry marriage visa in sukhamvit? 2. Why is it called 90 day multiple entry -- are you guys leaving the country every 90 days? Or do you just leave every year to renew ( I heard that someone stayed for 15 months before renewing. Was he knows Thailand the whole time?) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get a single entry non-o visa and then extend the 90 day entry from one year based upon marriage at a immigration office. 10 hours ago, tangdio said: 2. Why is it called 90 day multiple entry -- are you guys leaving the country every 90 days? Or do you just leave every year to renew ( I heard that someone stayed for 15 months before renewing. Was he knows Thailand the whole time?) A multiple entry visa allows unlimited 90 day entries for a one year from the date it is issued You have leave the country for a new entry every 90 days unless you apply for a 60 day extension to visit your wife. It is possible to get 15 months for the visa by getting a new 90 day entry just before it expires. It would be 17 months if you applied for the 60 day extension of that entry.
