When Sav first started asking to show 400k for a Multi-O it was reported that it could be shown in your bankbook the previous day, along with a bank letter showing you had the 400k in your account.

Those who turned up not knowing the change were given a 90 day Non-O instead, for 2000bht.

Then folk here said the 400k must be shown to have been in your bank for 2 months previous, this to me has not been 100% clarified.

I myself maybe going there in a few months time, so hopefully we get some more "genuine" info here soon..😋

 

Regarding the application + documents for this year, is it necessary to submit two copies of all documents, or is one copy sufficient?

Okay, looks like I need to be extra prepared this year. Bringing a couple of extra documents just in case, plus anything else I can think of. Last year's process was smooth, but who knows what they'll require this time. I'll be in Savannakhet on Tuesday and will update you on how it goes. Planning to apply for a 3-month Non-Imm O (marriage) visa, then extend it to a year in Thailand later. I think this is easier.

Keep your ears open for anyone trying to get a multi-O......😉

Non Imm. O Visa Run (based on marriage) May 2024 Update: Savannaket Consulate
Visa run complete! Here is the latest info.

Documents Needed:

• Filled in application form ( https://savannakhet.thaiembassy.org/th/page/104405-visa-application-form?menu=5d84a44c15e39c26b4004545 )
• Two passport photos
• Original passport
• Copy of your passport
• Copy of your Laos visa
• Copy of your Thai spouse's passport (if applicable)
• Copy of your spouse's Thai ID card 
• Copy of your Thai spouse's Tabian Baan (Blue house registration book)
• Copy of your marriage certificate 
• Kor Ror 2 document 
• Letter from your Thai Bank confirming the 400,000 baht balance (for 1 year multi-entry visa) 
• Copy of your updated bank book showing over 400,000 baht + original book (for 1 year multi-entry visa)
• Copy of your Yellow House Registration book (if you have one)
• Copy of your Pink Thai ID Card (if you have one)

If you have Children with your Thai spouse (if applicable):

• Copy of your child's passport
• Copy of your child's Thai ID card
• Copy of your child's Thai Tabian Baan page (Blue house registration book) 
• Copy of your child's birth certificate

**Your Spouse and Children don't need to be present for your visa application**

 

Show Original Documents:

• Marriage certificate
• Child's birth certificate
• Original Thai Bank Book (for 1 year multi-entry visa)

 

Visa Fees:

• Non-O 3 months: 2,000 baht
• Non-O 1 year multi-entry: 5,000 baht

Be prepared to wait! The consulate can get very busy. I arrived at 8:30 am and waited for 5 hours. There were a large number of people from Thai visa agencies, along with regular walk-in applicants, which created a long line. I received a pickup queue number 258, and there were still many people behind me. The actual processing at the window only took about a minute. You might get lucky and encounter a shorter wait time if you visit on a day when there aren't any large groups from Thai visa agencies applying.
 

Money Requirements: I had over 400,000 baht in my account for 10 days. The consulate offered me a 1-year multi-entry visa based on my bank statements, but I chose the 3-month Non-O visa instead. In a few months I'll apply for the 1-year extension in Thailand. Several people in line applied for the 1-year multi-entry visa but were only granted the 3-month Non-O visa because they lacked bank statements. This confirms that you can obtain the 3-month Non-O visa without showing any bank documents, but bank statements are required for the 1-year multi-entry option. This can change anytime but for the time being this seems to be the rules. I hope this helps!!
