single non-o in vietnam

[jacey]

I'm going to Vietnam for a week or two and wants to apply for a SINGLE NON-O VISA marriage to Thailand, usually i go into the Thai consulate in HCMC and do the paper work, i was told that i can do it online at Thai-Evisa official website https://thaievisa.go.th/, there's no need to go to the consulate, i already sign up to the page but never done this before, is it correct i can do online for a NON-O VISA

Yes this is how visas are obtained now.

Referred to as e-Visa.

Just provide the information as required in the application.

You need to  be in Vietnam to apply.

 

Did you consider entering Thailand visa exempt and obtaining the Non O at local immigration office. 

Are you planning on obtaining a 12 month extension after the Non O 

Both options now have  financial requirements.

Yes it's correct, you no longer have the option of an in person application.  You can prepare the application in advance, and finish/submit it when you are in Vietnam.  You'll need to upload some proof of being there, I believe passport entry stamp is accepted.

The airline most likely would require onward flight within 60 days. 

One option is "rent a ticket"

Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only?

Since you have the Thai bank account then you can do the visa exempt entry outlined above. 

AirAsia will almost certainly ask for onward flight.

Being over 50 has nothing to do with it.

Flying visa exempt from Saigon he most likely require an onward flight within 60 days to obtain boarding pass from airline.
