Non O Multiple Entry from Savannakhet Laos

[fran01]

Hi all, need advice on non o multiple entry for 1 year from Savannahkhet as this is my first time doing the renewal. the 90 days is due on coming 16th August. first do I need a re-entry permit when I go to do a visa run ?

do I need to bring any documents other than passport ?

does ban laem process this multi entry ? 
Please advice on what to do example step by step & what to expect. thank you.

You have a multiple entry VISA so you need NO re entry permit..  Just take your passport luggage wife and go back and forth over the border and you are good to go...

luggage wife ? do i need to bring my wife along ?

No you don't need to take luggage or your wife, just cross a border enter the other country, leave the other country and come back into Thailand and get another 90 days stamp (as long as your visa is valid)

I always go on a mini-holiday with the wife since I am on a Non-O ME, we have visited, Cambodia (Angkor Wat). Singapore, M'sia and HKG. Next time it will be Angkor Wat (Siem Reap), have already booked.

You can do the crossing there without a problem.

Just clear Thai immigration, get a visa on arrival for Cambodia, enter the country, turn around and re-enter Thailand.

Rember you can get a 60 day extension to the 90 days from  your immigration office based on visiting wife. You can get the 60 day extension on every 90 day entry thus giving you 17mths on your non o.

Yes you go to your local immigration office. Documents needed

 

 copies of passport face page and relevent visa page and TM6 Signed by you.

You need a TM 7 form available to download on hear in pinned section.

A passport sized picture.

Your wifes tabien and ID card copies. Signed by wife.

Marriage certificate and copy. Both sign copy.

Your wife also needs to go with you.

Cost 1900bht.

On every 90 day permision to stay you can get the 60 day extension.

I do it this route: (the + 60 is extensions which are obtained from your local immigration with the documents listed above.)

90 + 60 = 150 ( 5months) then border hop.

90 + 60 = 150 ( 5months) then border hop.

90 days but in reality you only use 60 to get you to  a couple of days before your multi entry non o expires then border hop. 

You then get 90 + 60 = 150 (5 months)

Giving you a few days short of 17 months then back to Savanakhet for a new visa.

Up to you .I do the border hop every 3 months .Get the last one in just before the M-O expires ,Then at 15 months will do a 60 day extension based on marriage ,giving the same 17 months total .My way works out cheaper plus i get to do some market shopping at Tachlike/Mae sai .

[jeab1980]

I like my way into the routine now, gives me 5 months in country. Each to there own.

I do 5/10/12

??

That depends upon where you do your borders runs and how far it is to the border.

He is doing his where he only pays 500 baht for a Myanmar border pass. To Laos or Cambodia it is about 1500 baht for a visa on arrival.

Already edited my post before realized what he was saying. As i say each to thier own way doing the maths i use Nong Khai if i did as him i would after fuel be better off by 2130bht But if i was to add time off (which i dont as im retired now) would work out about even. And less driving. Nong Khai is 1500 if you pay bht I pay dollar so 1162bht.

Sat thinking about it i may go the 4 times route 2 x less at immigration that has to be a plus in many ways, they use up a full page in passport for a bloody 60 day extension lol.

But for ease ill stick to my way.

Take a passport photo with you. You will probably need it.
