Hi everyone.

I have heard that you can get a Thai non-o marriage visa from Savanakhet in Laos without having to show your bank details. Has anyone done this? Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thai Non-O marriage visa can indeed be obtained from Savannakhet in Laos without the need to show bank details. Applicants need to provide necessary documentation including an original marriage certificate, signed copies of the marriage certificate, the Thai spouse's ID card, house book, the applicant's passport data page, and passport-sized photos. The visa cost can vary, with payments of 2000THB for a single entry or 5000THB for a multi-entry visa. It's worth noting that a multi-entry visa will require border runs every 90 days.

alright there is no difference in the documentation needed at either Vientiane or Savannakhet for the 90 day single entry Non-O based on marriage

you need the original marriage certificate (if married in thailand it's the one with the rose border)

you need copies of:

front&back of the original marriage certificate

front&back of your thai wife's i/d card

thai wife's house book listing

data page of your passport

lao visa and entry stamp

2 passport sized photos and a filled out application

you sign everything with your name on it, your wife signs everything with her name on it meaning you both sign the marriage certificate

Those things and 2000baht get you a 90 day single entry Non-O visa based on marriage.

 handy to know if your waiting for the 400k to season.

And you need to get the paperwork together.

90 day could be what somebody needs .

More than the 60 days visiting the wife extra 30 day's.

Good to know.

 a single entry 90 day Non-O visa means you get into the country ONCE on that visa and get stamped in for 90 days. Then you either apply for a yearly extension of stay at the immigration office by meeting the financial requirements and providing the documentation OR you leave the country and get a new visa,.

 The main difference between Vientiane and Savannakhet is that the latter will issue a non imm O multi entry visa

Ho Chi Minh will give a year-long, multi-entry Non-O based on marriage from them.

original marriage certificate

copies of:

front&back of the marriage certificate

front&back of your thai wife's I/D card

thai wife's house book listing

data page of your passport

You also need a letter from your wife asking that the consulate issue the visa.

Remember the thai consulates in Vietnam ONLY take US dollars and the year-long, multi-entry Non-O is $200 USD

To get a year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type O visa based on marriage to a thai from the consulate in Savannakhet you need

the original marriage certificate (if married in thailand it's the one with the rose border)

copies of:

front&back of the marriage certificate

front&back of your thai wife's i/d card

thai wife's house book listing

data page of your passport

lao visa and entry stamp

(you sign everything with your name on it and your wife signs everything with her name on it meaning you BOTH sign the marriage certificate copies)

you need 2 passport sized photos and the filled out application along with 5000baht. You turn in your application one morning before 11:30 and you pick up your passport the next afternoon after 1:30

 Only your wife needs to sign the copy of the marriage cert and no need for copies of your entry into Laos but obviously it's not an issue.

Is this visa a 90 multi entry visa that is good for one year where you have to border bounce every 90 days ?
