Im planning to go to laos or vietnam to apply for non-o marriage visa 90 days, to open a thai bank account to then apply for 1 year extension.

I have 400k in a foreign bank, when applying from abroad it says provide statements past 3 months, Does the 400k needs to be stable for 3 months straight before u can apply?

Its been sitting like 385k last 2.5 months, topped up to 400k about few days ago. Would this be any issue? Im leaving 6 march to apply for this visa.

I have been reading different information about this..

Thanks :)

Should be fine showing 400k at time of application.

Obtain a 3 month bank statement.

The two month seasoning is for the 12 month extension.

Are you visa exempt for Vietnam?

One thing to note is for payment of eVisa, Laos you need to pay at embassy/consulate.

Vietnam you can pay online..

Above link is current thread running re opening Thai bank account.

Have a read. Seems proof of address in passport country may be required.

That's, new.

Yes im eligible for visa exempt for vietnam, thanks for the information.

Do u know if there's any pros or cons using e-visa application choosing countrys like - laos/vietnam/Myanmar embassy, besides u can pay online in vietnam?

Like which usually faster processing time for non-o, more strict rules etc. Or are they all mostly same?

Haven't seen recent reports re Laos however previously there were reports of very quick approval after payment.

Re Vietnam you need to have correct docs.

I suggested as I love District 1 Saigon. (going tomorrow)

Depends where you are located.

For example if located in Bangkok then Laos is a task.

Some would fly to Udon Thani and enter via Nong Khai.

So depends on your location
