Canada Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 I would be looking for a visa extendable based on marriage, multi entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Brings up another question actually. An "marriage"extendable visa does not need to be extended to one year by showing all the documents or money. You can go in and out every three months with a multi entry. Is this the same for a "retirement" visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) You will not get a multiple entry non-o in Vientiane. Savannakhet does them with no financial proof needed if married to a Thai. For retirement you will not get one at any nearby embassy or consulate. Any non immigrant visa can be extended at immigration.

lopburi3 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 There is no retirement visa - the visa issued for those on retirement is the non immigrant O-A and that is only available in home/residence country with financial proof/police report/medical. It provides a one year stay on entry. Any non immigrant visa entry is extendable if you meet the conditions and no further exits are required.

ChrisB87 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Does Savannakhet give Non-imm O (single or multiple) visa for persons with a Thai child? Financial proof needed? Any problems extending this for one year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 If I understand the replies correctly, I will not get a multi entry non o in Vientiane, but I will in Savanaket. Correct? Multi entry is what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 My experience with getting the visa is that financial proof is never required for issuing the visa. It is only required for applying for the available 1 year extension. If only extending for 3 months at a time, only the exit and re-entry stamps are required. But you need a multi entry for this.

lopburi3 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 You will need to have original marriage certificate/copy and copies of wife ID card and home register. All copies should be signed and dated by wife to be sure they are accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Great. Thanks. Still not sure whether I'll go to Canada or not. Just checking options. Question. Savanaket....Anyone know of agents who will help out for a reasonable price? I remember going to Phnom Phen a couple of years back for a dbl entry tourist visa and there was an agent recommended....he was very helpful. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 There are no agents that I know of. Not a problem to do it yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just legitimised my being the father through the court,what options do I have to obtain a non o locally,do you still have to show funds ? Where is the best place going on recent experiences ? I am hoping to obtain a one year multi entry due to my working overseas,at present I continue to fly here mostly on a one way ticket and enter on a visa exempt of which I have extended before at immigration for 60 days. Thus far I've encountered no problems with the airlines but maybe that's just luck or judgement on their part. It's finally time to arrange a long term visa. Cheers Stoneyboy.

You should be able to get one in Savannakhet with no financial proof. But contact them first to confirm. You could also get an extension of a stay at immigration with 40k baht income or 400k in the bank. Then get a multiple re-entry permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
