Non O visa update?

[justaphase]

Can anyone give any information regarding getting a non o visa around the region? I have a non o extended by 2 months which is about to expire. I don't have the 200k they are asking for in Laos for the 3 month non o..any ideas?

 

Or can anyone lend me the 400K for a week while I go to Penang?  Haha

 

A desperate father running out of time..

[ubonjoe]

I have seen no recent reports of Vientiane asking for 200k baht. No reports of it happening at Savannakhet.

[justaphase]

So do you think back to back non o's will be a problem?

[kelboy]

Did 1 year multi vietnam no problem no money needed just the right documentation plus a letter from your wife asking them to give you the visa. Plus it's a lot cheaper than thailand. Also 200 usd clean .Any problems pm me.

[holy cow cm]

You better start planning now and fast after you get the next Non O desperate father. 200,000 is didley and the immigration is seriously turning up the heat on people who don't have money.  Time to go back to work? Good luck for you and your kids sake, but winging it is no longer an option.

[justaphase]

In 18months I will be 50 and I can go for the retirement option. Easy street. Right now i have an income from Uk about 35000 a month, but I'm losing 10000 a month to my blackmailing ex.

There is no financials needed and you can get it as a multi entry for 5000 baht which if used correctly will give you 15 months but you must do a border run every 90 days and just before it expires you do another border run and you get an extra 90 days with that stamp giving you 15 months and then you can apply for another one at Savannakhet. Some people have been doing this without any problems for years.

If you are thinking about going to Vientiane then things have changed there. You now need to have an appointment, you can no longer just romp up at the gate. Also you cannot get a multi entry there only a 90 day single entry.

Wrong info. Savannakhet will not issue a multiple entry non-o visa for being the parent of a Thai. Been that way for a long time.

Where did you find the 2nd part of your post. I cannot find it on the Savannakhet website.

On the Thai Consulate Savannakhet website then on the types of visa and then you will see  "Non-Immigrant Visa "O" (For the purpose of visiting family member of a Thai nationality, a spouse of Thai national)" and what I listed is exactly what is on there. So if the information that I have listed is incorrect then the information that is listed on the website is incorrect.

This is the link to the section.

This is what I see unless I see unless I right click my mouse to select translate.

 

Maybe you have translate set to always translate to English.

So I'm all good to go there and get 3 months easy. Back to back? There's not going to be a problem?

It should not be a problem. But I think getting a 60 day extension of your 90 day entries helps.

You are a father living on 25,000 baht a month (35000-10000) in Thailand?

And think in 18 months it will be "easy street"?  Cannot get a retirement visa on 25k or 35K a month.

Just seems you have very very little income to be living here and raising a child.

Best of luck and stay strong

Kindly, SW

Yes. But my rent is free.

And easy street with reference to getting a visa compared to know where I have to pay the mother of my children for any sort of help regarding documents whatsoever. Right now she wants 5000 baht for a photocopy of her tambien bann to do my extension.

All for my kids cos she cant look after them.

[justaphase]

As soon as I have full custody we will be moving back to the Uk. Before they reach high school hopefully.
