Penang consulate experience

[vivananahuahin]

Hello everyone,

Has anyone experience with the requirements from the Royal Thai consulate in Penang?

I can read on the visa requirements Non O based on marriage this:

Point 5:a copy of marriage certificate and a copy of Thai passport or a copy of Thai id card (if married to Thai national)

point 6:a copy of marriage certificate,a copy o Thai passport/a copy of Thai id of spouse and statement

They ask 2x the same and what's mean statement,is it a letter from the wife to grant a visa?

If i good understand the point 5 is if you are married with a Thai lady,and point 6 is for me very strange or is it may be a mistake in the translation or they need 2 sets ,this is coming from the website from the embassy in Penang.

Thank you for yours answers

The website for the Penang consulate directs you to the consular affairs website that only shows general info.

You will need your marriage certificate and a copy of it, Copies to your wife's house book registry and ID card signed by her.

No statement or a letter from you wife is needed.

For a single entry non-o visa you will need the equivalent of 200 baht in a bank or 400k baht for a multiple entry non-o.

Does that 400k Baht need to have been transferred in from abroad?

No

It does not even have to be in a Thai bank to apply for the visa.

You need the original marriage certificate to show them, plus a copy that they take for their records.
