sjbrownderby Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 In a few days time I will go to Savannakhet to obtain a multi-entry Non O visa based on marriage. I looked at the list of documents required and see that a copy of my wife's passport is on the list. The last time I was in Savannakhet I did not provide a copy of my wife's passport. That was in December 2019. Problem is that her passport expired in 2016 and I am sure that I did not provide a copy of her expired passport then. I have all of the other documents and required copies and can provide a copy of the expired passport. Is the passport copy a strict requirement now?

DrJack54 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) Bumping your thread as no replies. Here is old thread and the OP mentions that he provided copy of expired pp and was not an issue. Edited October 9, 2022 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 You can use a signed copy of your wife's ID card. The passport copy is not mandatory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The passport is on the list as a requirement so I had to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take a signed copy of my wife's expired passport anyway, even though it may not actually be required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutNL Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Additional to the clear info above...: -) When an extension of stay is expiring on October 31st, when can you go to Savannakhet for a new Non-O-visa (based on marriage)? -) Any chances on obtaining a 30- or 60 days extension in Bangkok?

kidneyw Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I have just been in contact with the embassy in Vientiane about the same problem (Savannakhet did not respond). They suggested I could take a copy of my wife's driving license instead of the requested passport copy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimbuman Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Masks and vaccination still on the list of requirements for such a run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do not have a re-entry permit your extension of stay ends on the day you leave the country. You can apply for the non-o visa at the consulate in Savannakhet, If married to a Thai you can apply for a 60 day extension ti visit you wife. You can only for one of them per entry using a visa. If on a non-o visa entry you cannot apply for a 30 day extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgMech Cowboy Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I had meant to test the pp copy requirement when I went in August, but I was so happy to get in the gate before they closed that morning that I forgot. I hope you will test it and let us know. Good Luck. It's a great time to go. There are no crowds on most days. (The clerk told me Mondays have been crowded) I went in on a Tuesday and picked up on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
