Kevin Bligh Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Wanting to go to Savannakhet Laos next week to get a new Non Imm 0 visa married with children as mine expires 30th March Have any forum members been there in the last few days to give any updates, feedback mainly about getting back into Thailand without any hiccups likes medical notes to get back etc. As I don't really want to enter Laos and not be able to get back to Udon. I have messaged a forum member and he has given me some sage advice. Any advice /information will be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

Peter Denis Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 >> I just PM-ed you 2 reports from TVF-members that did apply for the 1-year MultiEntry Non Imm O - marriage Visa in Savannakhet. They are not recent but both are less than 4 months old, and contain a wealth of practical information (opening hours - application tips, etc.). To access your PM-messages just click the letter-icon next to your profile when logged in to the Forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 why not do a fresh in out and then a 60 day extension, that will delay the new visa until end of august 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you presently have a 90-day SingleEntry Non Imm O - marriage Visa? Normally that kind of Visa is the starting point for your in-country 1-year extension. If you don't want to apply in country (maybe because you do not meet the extension requirements), you can indeed exit Thailand and re-apply in a neighboring country. When re-applying at the Savannakhet, HCMC or Penang consulate you then have the option to apply for a 90-day SingleEntry Non Imm O - marriage Visa (2.000 THB) or a 1-year MultipleEntry Non Imm O - marriage Visa (5.000 THB). The requirements are identical (except for the price of the Visa), but obviously the 1-year MultipleEntry Non Imm O - marriage Visa is much more convenient if you do not intend to apply for the in-country 1-year extension at your local IO.

That is the important requirement. The rest is just paper work. You can apply for a 60 day extension to visit your wife. Then do the extension near the end of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only for those from 3 countries (USA, UK and Australia). Those 3 have to show 40k baht monthly transfers from abroad for proof now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
