2long Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I'm planning to apply for my first Non-O spouse visa in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh. A couple of questions. #1 I'm planning on multiple trips out of Thailand, especially long before the first 90 days. I hear the multi entry forces you to leave every three months, but is there a limit? I'm happy to go out at least that much. Would a single entry Non-O with multi re-entry be better for me? #2 I'm planning to follow the consulate's directions for what's needed, but to ask you guys, would just our UK marriage certificate be enough (plus passports, 400k proof, etc)? This Kor 2 / 22thing has never been anything I have needed before. We got married in the UK and I've been on a Non-B for 20+ years. #3 If Saigon is a bad choice for any reason, please let me know. I could go elsewhere but prefer not to. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 If you plan to live ongoing in Thailand, personally I would do a single entry Non O based on marriage and subsequent annual extensions. You would also require a multiple reentry permit. You can obtain that in nearby consulates such as Saigon, Savannahket etc. You could also just enter Thailand visa exempt and obtain Non O at Thai immigration. Note: Saigon requires an appointment. Assume you have a Thai bank account. Process outlined in this thread with other links. https://aseannow.com/topic/1315828-visa-exempt-to-90-day-non-o-spouse-visa-conversion-in-thailand/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my question was about going out and coming back a lot, especially in the first few months and if I get a multi entry. Also about the KR2 / 22 document, considering we got married in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% sure if multi entry marriage is currently available from Saigon. It is from Savannahket Multi from HCMC discussed in this thread https://aseannow.com/topic/1308373-ho-chi-minh-multiple-entry-marriage-visa/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
