Exact Requirements for Multiple Entry Non O (Marriage) From Savanakhet

[elsewheresoon]

Further to a recent topic I started for a friend he was able to get more of the required documents.

What exactly is required to get this visa? I have seen the Vientiane requirements which state bank statement in Thailand as well as 'certified copy of ID card' - is this required in Savanakhet as well? If so what is meant by 'certified'?

If financials are required would his Thai Bank book showing 40k+ (THB) a month being transferred from the US be OK?

Thanks for all help

Savannakhet does not ask for financial proof.

To get the non-o visa all that is needed is the marriage certificate (plus a copy), signed and dated copies the wife's house book and ID card.

Certified means signed and dated.

There are several topics on the forum about getting the visa at Savannakhet..

Are these all needed when applying for an extension of an existing extension of stay based on marriage?

If going down the monthly income route instead of the 400000฿ in the bank what is the monthly earnings amount and do they take a monthly house rental into account? If so do they calculate the rental by gross or net? Thanks.

It is 40k baht income proven by a income letter from your embassy. It can be gross income. What can be used for income on the letter depends upon your embassies policies for doing the letter.

Thanks Ubonjoe, the reason I ask is that I am British, but live in France with my Thai wife. We have sold the house here and will be looking to move to Thailand round about December time and was not too sure whether to get a tourist visa then upgrade to a non immo when we get there. Because the sale will not be completed till December we will not have sufficient funds in any bank account. But I get a private pension of £450 a month and rent a house out for £425 a month, my OAP doesn't kick in till April next year (2015).

It would be best to get a single entry non-o visa based upon your marriage before traveling to Thailand. You could then get a 60 day extension to visit your wife that would get you April when you start getting OAP and can then qualify for the one year extension.
