I live much closer to Vientiane, Laos. Can I a US citizen get a 1 year Non Immigrant Type O Multiple Entry Visa in Vientiane without showing proof of income or money in a Thai Bank? I am married to a Thai. I wonder if I have to go to Savannakhet or if I can do this in Vientiane.

Vientiane does not do any multiple entry visas. You have to go to Savannakhet.

You only need your information page from your passport and information pages from the house book

Mixed reports on that. Although I don't recall any reports of a application being denied for them not being dated.

I did mine 10 days ago. Same deal. Very easy. Shop across the road will check you have the right papers, even fill out and print the application form. Cost only 80 baht for peace of mind. Drop in there, and then stroll across the road knowing that all is well. Pick up passport with visa next day. 5000 tb for the visa pay to consulate. I went first bus over the bridge in the morning, finished by 9.30 odd.

No, the photos is one of requirements for Lao's visa on arrival, most European citizens should apply for voa to enter laos. Thai national is under Lao's exemption visa.

Thank you, though being a citizen of one of the very few European countries that are visa exempt I will not require a photo to enter Laos

Yes, i paid 30US but depends on your nationality. I think US citizens pay 5 or 10USD more.

Copy of wife's id card and housebook signed. I have submitted without date and it hasn't been queried.

 

Better safe than sorry but I don't think it's necessary.

Top tip, if you go to Savanaket regularly, grab a spare entry card for next time then you can arive at the voa window with no more scribbling to do.
