TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry seeks experiences regarding applying for a NON-O visa based on marriage at the Thai consulate in Penang, Malaysia. Responses indicate that there are not many reports from Penang, but it is believed they issue the NON-O visa for married applicants. It is recommended to check requirements at the Kuala Lumpur consulate, as Penang usually follows the same guidelines. Some suggest considering the Thai embassy in Savannakhet, Laos, which does not require proof of funds in a Thai bank account, making it a preferable option for some applicants.

@Steve *******

you did notice that no matter what visa you click on it just jumps you to Penang's home page right? OR at least it does for me 😕

That's why we say check the KL thai consulate page as it at least comes up with info 😛

There are not many reports from Penang so far. They should issue Non-O marriage to a Thai. Check the requirement at KL as Penang usually uses the same requirements as those at Kuala Lumpur.

IF you don't have the 400,000 Thai baht required in a Thai bank account in your name only to get the Non O Visa as Married to Thai and the One year extension of stay as Married to Thai .

DO yourself a favor and go to the Thai Embassy in Savannakhet Laos. They do not require proof of the 400,000 Thai baht in a Thai bank account in your name only.

At THIS time, Savannakhet is the ONLY Thai Embassy in SE Asia which has no proof of the money in a Thai bank account.

Look at the TOPIC of Savannakhet Thai Embassy

FORGET them as there are changes in both Vietnam Thai Embassy and Consulate. Go to VIENTIANE.

You can get the Non O Visa as Married to Thai and the One year extension of stay as Married to Thai at your local Thai immigration office.

You asked about this recently in October.
