Popular Post saorsa Posted July 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hi all, I can recommend HCM if you are looking for a non immigrant O visa. Dropped my passport off yesterday morning at 08.45. There was only 2 others there when I arrived and they saw me straight away. Went to pick it up today at 13.30 and 5 people in front of me in the queue when I arrived at 13.27. Only had to wait 5 minutes for them to deal with the people before me and then I got my passport back with a shiny new visa in it. In addition to the minimum required docs, I included a Thai bank statement and copy of my son's birth certificate which they added to my application. One difference I noted is that there is no last entry allowed date, just a valid from and valid to date which is different to previous visas. I don't know if this is a HCM consulate thing, of if they just changed the format. Spending a few days break with the family here beats the crap out of staying in Savannaket where there is nothing to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie66 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 So they also issue non o multi entry based on marriage with no financial requirements? I thought that was only possible in Savannakhet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
