Non-O (marriage-based) visa in Vientiane.

I have already arranged my trip to Laos to obtain a visa, but I have just found out that I do not have a full 3-month bank statement showing 400,000 baht. I transferred enough money on 20 August, so it will only have been 2.5 months.

Is there any chance I can get a visa?

I remember in Savannakhet they didn't ask for financial proof before. Is this still the case?
Answer summary
The user is inquiring about the possibility of obtaining a Non-O (marriage-based) visa in Vientiane without having the required full 3-month bank statement showing 400,000 baht, as they only have 2.5 months of account history. Previous experience in Savannakhet suggests that financial proof may not always be requested. Commenters advise that while three months of statements are typically necessary, the actual availability of funds for that entire period might not be strictly enforced.

Alexander Rus oh..OK.. thanks. I was in Thailand in February. I tried opening an account but was unsuccessful. Most banks were asking if I was married to a Thai woman

Michael Helmi As I understand most of the banks need at least 1-year visa or non-o visa to open an account.

You'll be fine. You should provide 3 months of statements but the money doesn't have to be there for 3 months

OP
Jan Nicola Mysse As I understand you just need 400k on your account not matter how long they are there. It's for non-o visa, not 1 year extention.
