Non-Imm "O" 1 yr ME from regional Thai Consulate

[catinthehat]

Which ThaivConsultes in SEA still issue the Non-Imm "O" 1 yr, ME (Thai marriage) visa? 

I am emailing Thai SEA Consultes with few responses.

Thanks in advance for advice.

Dr Jack. Apologies as I meant to exclude Sav as the new 14 day advance window for making appointments seems to fill up quickly. 

Any others?

HCMC used to be the only one in the area that still issued year-long, multi-entry Non-O (with proof of funds) but no reports of anyone getting the year/multi there that I could find. 

Penang might do it (again with proof of funds) but no reports from there either.

I think if that is the visa you want you're gonna hafta just suck it up, set your alarm for 12am and check the system then.
I've checked every day this week and you can get a booking for about 5 minutes (on the popular days) until they're booked out
but
this morning even at 7am there were still bookings for Thurz the 18th (that's because with the holiday Monday you wouldn't get your passport back until Tuesday the 23rd)

Thanks Tod-

1. Penang answered No 1yr ME.

2. I emailed both PP noted contact emails. Both bounced back 

3. Waiting in Hanoi response.

I will try HCMC. And others.

Does it help to use an agent and do a border run and to assist with appointment? Or must applicant do this?

I'm often not here long enough to wait for an extension (waiting period).
