Somtamnication Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I need to head out there for a B, but I may get a non O, safer and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 The only way you would get a multiple entry B visa in Penang is if you have a work permit valid for 9 months. You might get a multiple entry non-o based upon marriage to a Thai in Penang if you are willing to show 400k baht in the bank. You can get a multiple entry non-o in Savannakhet Laos with no financial proof needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubonjoe, are the conditions same in KL Thai Embassy? And is there a rule how long THB 400,000 has to be on bank account?

ubonjoe Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 KL no longer does multiple entry visas. The only place with any certainty of getting the visa is Savannakhet Laos where you can a multiple entry based upon marriage with no financial proof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigp Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 What other places can we get a multi entry non O with financial proof of 400,000+. Is it just the financial proof other places will ask for? Or all the documents usually required for Extensions based on marriage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you want to travel a lot further than someplace nearby their has been no recent posts on the forum of any successful applications being done any where other than Savannakhet. I was informed by PM of one that was done for a Malaysian citizen in Penang with 200k int the bank. Singapore has been reported in the past as doing them with 400k in the bank but there is no consistency with some getting them and others were denied. I know of no embassy or consulate that has asked for the same documents needed for an extension of stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this change at any time? i.e. without notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this change at any time? i.e. without notice? Because they are following the rules set by the MFA for visas not making up there own like many embassies and consulates do Check this MFA webpage.http://www.mfa.go.th/main/en/services/123/15398-Issuance-of-Visa.html It has been the same for at least 2 years or more. It could change but I doubt it very much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your pension is the equivalent of 65k baht or more you will not need the money in the bank. You would just need to do a statutory declaration at the embassy in Bangkok. If it is short of being 65k baht you can combine your total annual income with money in the bank to reach a total of 800k baht. At most immigration offices when using the combination method the money does not need to be in the bank for 60 days it just has to be there when you apply. Then during the last 30 days of the 90 day entry you can apply your extension at immigration. You will need the statutory declaration if your income is enough or it and a letter from the bank confirming you bank balance and copies of your bank book.

Anyone know if the 400,000THB for Multi Non-O marriage at Penang (or anywhere alse) needs to be in Thai account, or can you show the equivalent in an overseas bank account, (a good backup for me if for any reason Savannakhet stop multi O in the future). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cresta Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Are there any recent report on successful 1 year multiple entries non-O at Penang? What is the passport collection time at Penang consulate? Is it the same day or next day and what time? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroBiker Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Non-O collection is next day afternoon. I was there mid May and they gave me 3 months single entry because I forgot to bring proof of financial status. Like to know too about 1 year multiple entry in Penang. Also, I keep money in Singapore HSBC account, want to know if this is accepted by consulate officials. Edited July 11, 2014 by CroBiker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to plan the trip if able to catch bus to Hatyai. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 There has been a recent report of one being obtained with a bank book showing 400k baht in the bank. I am not sure it they would accept a non Thai bank account or not. Unless you are working outside the country on a rotation it would be best to get an extension of stay based upon marriage if you have 400k baht in the bank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But crowds are enormous so it may take a while for you to actually collect the passport. Edited July 11, 2014 by CroBiker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
