Hi everyone, I'm about to go Vientiane to get a NON-O visa based on marriage.

 

The list of documents on their website:

Only these are required??

 

Documents of Thai national: a marriage certificate or a birth certificate, a passport, a Thai ID Card, and a house registration (or their certified copies)

 

Has anyone been there recently? I'm wondering if I need to show bank statements and/or letters as well as anything else. That list of docs looks oddly short.

 

Thanks in advance!

Documents required there were always pretty short. It is probably correct. Better to have a one sentence letter from your wife requesting they provide the visa, and evidence of a minimal amount of money (20,000 baht or so probably enough) which can occasionally be needed during any visa application. I assume you realise that Vientiane only gives you a single entry Non O visa.

Down the road at Savanakhet you can get a one year multi-O with no financials mentioned or asked for...????

Hi thanks, I can provide evidence of funds without a problem, I guess I'll bring a bank statement just in case.

Yes, I'm aware, for which I can get a 1 year extension once I'm back in Thailand, correct?
