TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster inquires about transitioning from a Non-O visa due to a marriage situation to a dependency visa based on their child. It's clarified that neither Savannakhet nor Vientiane offers a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa for this purpose. The only nearby option for such a visa might be the Thai consulate in Penang, though recent updates suggest they might no longer issue a one-year multiple Non-O visa.

Just found this regarding Penang this morning. Perhaps somebody needs to get confirmation

''After insisting on the phone, I was finally told that, no, the Consulate doesn't deliver one year multiple non O visas, anymore. I was just on the phone with Penang Thai Consulate, after an exchange of emails, to make sure things were clear.

The Consulate, both by email and on the phone, kept on referring me to its website, which is in fact the same as the Embassy in KL, and only mentions single entry non O'.

Yes. Somebody has e-mailed Jim but no reply.

It could be true but it could be false. I'd say until we hear from one of the agents down there OR get a confirmation of a denial that it has to be just a rumor right now.

Good Luck (y) The upside is at least you're not out of time on your current visa ..

nope, Neither Savannakhet nor Vientiane will issue a year-long, multi-entry Non-O based on raising a half thai child :/

The ONLY consulate nearby that will is the thai consulate in Penang, and they require you show 400K baht (or the equivalent) in a bank account (no seasoning required) to issue it.

The best you can do in Savannakhet or Vientiane for raising half thai children is a 90 day single entry Non-O.. Sorry :(

You're a LONG way off from your current visa running out.

Bouncing just before it expires would take you thru Nov, and getting a 60 day extension (if you could) would take you until Jan.

The situation between you and your ex wife could change by then (or not), BUT you've still got time to figure out something..

@Sc***
Visas can't be canceled. Even if the reason you got it changes you can stay on it until it expires and use it like you want to..

@Scott *********
well, make sure you maximize the time you get out of the visa you're on by bouncing out/back in to the country just before the VISA itself expires so you get 15 months of stay out of it

AND

After that you could apply for a 60 day visit family extension at the immigration office for 1900baht without proof of funds with minimal documentation.
