Is this never gonna stop. One after another..... THERE IS NO 200.000 BAHT RULE

So more post like #180 can be done to prove there is no 200k baht requirement.

[observer90210]

is it that the rules are getting more strict in certain areas, and thus are plainly enforced???....

 

or was this all just another simple attempt to racket for "tea money"???

Nobody paid anything. 

A person showed his bank book by mistake thinking it was needed because he read the notice for a multiple entry tourist visa that requires 200k baht in the bank to get the visa.

That is most likely what happened and when asked to photograph the notice, that he claimed was posted at the consulate in Savannakhet, he did.  The only problem is that 200K baht was a requirement for those applying for a MULTIPLE ENTRY TOURIST VISA.  When called out on his mistake, instead of admitting he made one, decided to lie, claiming that he accidentally took a photo of the wrong notice and then disappeared from the the ridiculous FB thread that he started.

Just got back. NO NEED TO SHOW FUNDS FOR MULTIPLE ENTRY NON O.

I will do a full trip report Tuesday.

 

Short and sweet: guy looked at my paperwork for NON O based on married to a Thai and Thai son. He took out the real marriage certificate, did not look at the original tabien baan.

 

Wrote M on the application, M on the receipt and M on some other paper. Done. Out in 5. Did not ask for funds.

Thank you for much needed confirmation/clarification. Seems some have been telling tales for who knows what reasons.

Sounds like someone is extracting the urine then thanks all

not necessarily, for a 1 year multiple for child i have been asked to show funds, but not seasoned, 100k -200k usually did the trick.

Perhaps in Penang or elsewhere but not in Savannakhet.

British. From some of the previous posts I've read i believe someone has made a mistake on the type of visa. For 1 year Non 'o' multiple based on marriage they still don't require funds. Certainly not for British anyway

I asked because at the beginning of the thread Webfact stated no probs for Brits but they would not reveal others that might....To me that has not been made clear as Webfact would have stated Multi-O to the Sav consulate.....

You need to go to kanooks  post 159  trans to establish what actually happened.

Someone on FB posted 200,000 requirement, the guy was married to a Thai but he applied for the METV, not the ME Non Imm O.

 

Reports since confirm no funds required for Non Imm O ME based on marriage to a Thai regardless of nationality.

I have read everything, but TVF staff asked Sav if Multy-O guys needed to show 200k, they said Brits no but others may and they would not tell who "may"....I am just trying to clear that bit up for readers because l have read nothing about the "others may"..

[MekkOne]

Close this topic please, is making just useless confusion, nothing is changed in Sawannakhet so there is no need to arguing about. The agent I contact when this post came out said 'business as usual' the reports are saying 'business as usual' I don't understand the reason why this topic still open.

I understand exactly why your asking, but I think you've got to read between the lines here and take into account the language barriers.

 

Are funds required for a multi entry Visa..........some nationalities, not all.

Are funds required for a METV..........yes, all nationalities.

Are funds required for an ME non Imm O (married to Thai) .............no, all nationalities.

 

The confusion arouse around the type of ME Visa being applied for.

I'm Italian, I'm not worry because the whole thing was a hoaxes. Just relax NOTHING is changed is Sawannakhet.

And so? It was always like this, there is a list of nationalities that can't get a tourist visa if is not in their home country, the same list of nationalities got restrictions on the application of all the other kind of visa.

You are really annoying, keep go on with your paranoia, have fun.

You ain't read the Multi-O bit have you.....Go read again.......No mention of tourist visa....Go read again and come back...........

Theres another thread running about trolling suggest a good few on this one pop of over there. Its about as clear as clear glass, there are no funds needed for anyone, any nationality who last time got a non o multi entry based on marriage  showing no funds at  Savannakhet, will still get a non o multi entry based on marriage showing no funds at Savanakhet. Is that quite clear for everyone.

I hope I am not being accused of trolling...I am English so have no problem, I just want TVF admin to post that no nationality has a prob with Sav getting a multy-O visa, to me there was a question mark...So far admin has not come back yet...Unless I have missed a post from them...

There have been several nationalities mentioned already as getting them.

Plus an email sent to the with the answer that if was not required.

The entire thing seems to be a misunderstanding.

I am satisfied that all nationalities that can get a non-o visa in Savannakhet do not need to show financial proof.

I got the Non O multiple today without any issues. Crossed the border coming back with no issues. Leaving Thailand was an issue. 

 

Will post a very thorough visa run report with pics  when I get back to Phuket tomorrow.
