That is for a single-entry - see the Fee is only 2,000 Baht and the "3 months". A multi-entry 1-year visa is 5,000 Baht.

I told the wife of the panic on this thread and we will ask when we pick up my passport if it is needed to have bank book with proof of 200k in Thai bank for non o multiple entry based on marriage. Ok? Might post a few hours after as I dont have internet outside of the hotel (and might have to go lose more money at savan casino) Perhaps just ask if "next" time applicants must show a bank book....Get your Mrs. to ask..

No ,thats not the right question.Jab is picking up a single M-O visa ,which we know already that no funds are asked for .

Popular Post Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2017 Well just more confusion. We've just got off the phone with the consulate in Savannakhet who could only confirm that UK nationals do not need to show 200,000 THB when applying for Non O. However, the officer told us that they are asking for the requirement from some nationalities but said they could not specify which nationalities over the phone. I'm expecting a call back from the consulate this afternoon to try and get more clarity. I'll update here as soon as I hear anything. Edit - typo fixed updated to Non O 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCM Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Wow that is indeed confusing. Maybe another G7 move, so citizens of G7 don't have to show and Other citizens do, but that is just speculation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asiaexpat Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I was there Monday and Tuesday with a relative that is still awaiting his Thai birth certificate (currently using USA passport) that only got a TR single visa. Talking with the crowd on Monday it appeared Non-O ( wife) applications were going through without problems (no request for funds.) However, many Non-B and TR applicants were rejected for various reasons. My relative applied for a Non-O to care for his ill Thai mother and was only given a TR visa even though he had all the documents MFA said he would need. Tuesday one Non-O (wife) applicant (a Dutchman) said he only got TR visa because he did not have funds but at least five others said they were not asked. My judgement is the consulate is tightening up on requirements for Non-O visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No funds required. So big smiles all round. And a big thank you to all those who have made the effort to get the clarification on this matter. So that's me. I'm off to Savannakhet in October. And I'm looking forward to another 5 litres of that very nice Californian Burgundy red that's on sale there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have probably wrote it like this Mai dtawng, krab, but no big deal, I think many understood. The Consular employee answered the query in Thai that there is 'no need to show funds'.
