Can I apply for a 60-day tourist visa in Laos while holding a non-immigrant O visa in Thailand?

@Steven *****

, report back if you can and let us know how it worked out (y) good luck :)

@Ste***

, you go to the immigration office that services the area where you and your wife are living, take the marriage certificates, her thai i/d, her house book listing, and you can apply for a 60 day visit family extension of stay for 1900baht

OR go to the thai consulate in Savannakhet Lao (across the river from Mukdahan) and get either a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa or a 90 day single entry Non-O based on marriage to a thai. Neither of those visas require proof of finances either.

That would get you stamped in for 90 days

@Ste***

, "there is no such thing as a marriage visa" :/ you already hold a 90 day Non-O visa based on marriage to a thai. Your next step would have been apply for a yearly extension of stay by meeting the financial requirements.

Why not take the 60 day extension of stay I recommended from the immigration office for 1900baht rather than slog all the way to Lao to get a single entry tourist visa?

Still if that's what you want to do you could go to Lao when ever you want, as long as you stamp out of the country on or before the 7th of April you're fine.
