Nong Khai Man Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I've just returned after applying for a Non-Imm " O " Visa at Vientiane ( Marriage ), I DO Know I Filled the application form in CORRECTLY,as I've done MANY Other times,But on picking up my Passport on the day after applying I Noticed they gave me a ED Visa Single entry ?? I Pointed this out to Thai Immigration as I was coming back at the friendship bridge but the IO Didn't seem bothered,Anyway I Got my 90 days permission to stay so I'm not worried about it ( It WAS The Embassies MISTAKE ) But SHOULD I Be ???????? Over to YOU, UbonJoe....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJack54 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Am I missing the point. Op states applied non o based in marriage. "Do it many times". Why not have annual " permission of stay" based on marriage. Up to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoorSucker Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 The consulates abroad are controlled by the MFA (ministry of foreign affairs). Immigration in Thailand is a part of the royal police. They don't talk with each other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymonddiaz Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 It happened to me few months ago when i applied for a Non O they gave me a tourist visa and when i pointed that out they stamped and signed on the visa and wrote non o. I didn't encounter any difficulties at suvarnabhum airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackThompson Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Unless planning to extend it at immigration for a year, it should not be a problem. You should still be able to do a 60-day extension based on visiting Thai family (can even do this with Tourist entries). If you are staying long-term, and don't have the 400K-bank or 40K/mo, then a 1-Year ME Non-O based on Marriage from Savannakhet (or Vietnam) would be the way to go. You can get 17 months total out of it, if doing a new entry just before it expires, and extending that for 60-days at your local imm-office. Just be aware, if dealing with a local immigration office for any reason, to check their policy on TM-30 submissions, so you don't get hit with an unexpected fine.

Can you ellaberate on this a little please? When I stopped getting Non-B visas and switched to Non-O a few yrs back, I was told I could only get what amounted to a 90-day "Permission to visit the wife" Non-O and had to apply for a 9 month extention in country. The embassy in Vientine said they don't issue 1 yr Non-O visas. I don't have the 440k in the bank but do have the 45k+ monthly income. I have/had never heard of rolling out of the country every yr and a half for a short vacation and less paperwork.

But the consulate in Savannakhet Laos will issue a multiple entry non-o visa based upon marriage without having to show financial proof. The visa allows unlimited 90 day entries for a year from the day it is issued. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee4Life Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 When I was living in Laos on business visas Lao Foreign Affairs put somebody else's visa in my passport and then realized their mistake and just stamped it "cancelled" and put the correct one in on the next page, when I looked at my wife's passport it had a visa issued to me in it with the "cancelled" stamp on it too!
