I feel like I'm making a mistake...Single Non-O based on marriage

[ThaiEddie]

I feel like I'm doing this wrong,,, I getting ready to get a income letter from the american embassy in Bkk and I have a feeling that I dont need to go to Savanaket Laos to get my single entry Non-O (marriage). I am currently on a tourist visa which was extended 30 days and will expire on the 20th. I have everything paperwork wise that would/could possibly be required.

Why cant I go to immigration here in BKK (like I believe I did 3 years ago) and get my 90 day single entry NON-O there?

I have my wifes book, ID, birth record, name change paper work... all coppied & signed

I have my daughters birth record, passports all copied and sign/unsigned(by my wife)

But my wife stayed in Nakhon Sawan...this might be the stopper.

Thanks!!!

I thought that maximum 3 days old also is accepted for the guarentee letter. (Embassy or bank)

How do you do that on the same day with a guarantee letter from an overseas Embassy or Consulate ?

The 7.1 reference is an error. A income letter can be up to 6 months old.

Bangkok immigration will accept a letter from the bank issued the day before the application but the bank book must be updated on the date of application.
