Vientiane vs Savannakhet - certified copies vs copies...

[ReinDeerMan]

Planning to apply single non-O visa but what is the differece between Vientiane and Savannakhet. Other mentions certified copies and The other just copies. Signed by my wife means certified 

 

Vientiane 

 

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)

 

Savannakhet 

 

Original and a copy of marriage certificate (for spouse/parent) or birth certificate (for child).

A copy of Thai identification card (for spouse/parent)

A copy of passport (for spouse/parent)

A copy of Thai House registration

Certified means signed.

Both Savannakhet and Vientiane now require appointment.

Did you consider a border bounce, enter Thailand visa exempt and obtain Non O marriage at your Thai immigration office?

Does Savannakhet still do the non-O (marriage) without requiring to show financials? If so, is what's listed in the OP the  only documents you need? I understand that you have to book an appt. like Vientiane (e-visa starts next year). FYI-  USA-came in on a 30 day exempt/extended, family ext., and two land border crossings(Laos), so a tourist visa or a non-o w/o showing financials seems like my best bet in either Savannakhet or Penang. I'm only planning on staying 4 more months. In retrospect I should've paid an agent in CNX for a visa based on retirement when I first arrived. Thank you for reading.

If you only require 4 months why not visa exempt entry (60 days) + 60 day extension to visit wife.

Or even 60 (visa exempt) + 30 day extension + 60 extension to visit wife.

Or visa exempt 60 + obtain non O marriage at local immigration office (requires 400b in bank day of application) 3 months stamp = 5 month total. 

 

You don't need to obtain non O marriage in Laos
