When I click on the link above I get this:

 

Sorry, there is a problem

The page you requested does not exist

Error code: 1S160/2

Aaah, I see, now I am logged in the link works. No problem

No need print it 2 sided, back is only notes for applicant benefit . 1 page PDF is easier printing and never had issue using it .

What is so hard about printing it two sided?

You might of just been lucky they didn't say anything about it being one sided.

Must of been luck quite a few times then over last 2yrs for myself and others

If not printing yourself then got rely on shop do duplex mode print or refeed paper.

As it only notes for applicant they not concerned.

My personal experience from doing it many times is it not a must but for a belt & braces approach to a tricky application it maybe good idea to reduce easy excuses for consulate.

Hi, does anyone know if a UK marriage certificate, foreign male married to Thai lady, requires an official Thai translation when requesting a multi entry non-o, thanks.

Since your marriage certificate is in English it will not need to be translated.

They accept documents in Thai or English. Any other language has to be translated.

[Deepinthailand]

Most embassy websites don't list an age but my local immigration office told me 20 is the maximum age. No office is the same as the last so thought id try my luck since i have heard of peoples parents managing to get the same sort of visa. I would be a follower on my dads business visa and work permit.

You might be able to get a single entry non-o to visit family but not sure Savannakhet will issue one.

For an extension at immigration the maximum age is 20.

That was in reply to a post about getting a non-o to visit his father who is here on extension based upon working.

Not the same as getting one based upon being the parent of a Thai. You can still get a single entry non-o in Savannakhet but not a multiple entry.

Thais can get a 3 day border pass to enter Laos. You would need their birth certificates and copies of their house book registry for them to apply for one.

Hi Joe. Ok, so I've done all my multi non-o (based on marriage) visas in the UK this last 6 or 7 years. This time I'm looking to do it in SE Asia. Looks like Savannakhet is no-go, so how about Penang? Also, do you know if good ol' NJ Books Centre in Chulia Street is still going? Thanks!

If you are getting the non-o visa based upon marriage you will not have a problem getting a multiple entry in Savannakhet.

You could also get one in Penang but would need to show 400k baht in the bank or proof of income.

Excellent, thank you. It's been a while so I'm wondering what the proof of income entails these days. I used to just put money into my wife's account, take it out, put more in, to the tune of about 40k entering her account each month (never mind that much of it was the same money going in and out and in again). Then just copies of these transactions in her bank book (plus the usual docs) and that was fine, but that was back in maybe 2009 or 2010.

You don't need financial proof to get the visa in Savannakhet.

In Penang they would probably want to see pay slips from an employer outside the country or proof of a pension to meet the income requirement.

Alright, thanks once again for your help. Looks like a jaunt to Laos or a trip back to Blighty are my most straight-forward options.

I saw an article on the net recently that you now need to show Baht 100,000.00 in a bank book or hard cash when applying for a Non 'O' at Sav based on marriage, and also a letter from the wife just outlining that you are married with no problems, etc....any truth in this?

I have seen no reports of that being true. There are  many members of this forum that get their visas in Savannakhet so I am sure we would  know about if it was factual.

Thanks Joe, as suspected. But there is an article that someone did recently stating, I won't bother to c&p it though..

As for the passport copies, do they need the stamp pages or just the passport page with photo and personal details?

Only the photo page and the Lao VOA/entry stamp.
