Admin delete if not relevant: I'm an Australian male currently on an non immigrant O visa extension (based on marriage) where I report to immigration every 90 days for the report. My questions are

Am I able to change over to the visa at Savannakhet, Laos?

2. Does Savannakhet still issue visas without the need to meet the financial requirements?

Thanks for all and any advice.

You realise the Savannakhet visa requires you to leave every 90 days don't you?

yes, I do. I did this when I first arrived here and it suits my current needs. Thanks for the heads up.

you are not changing visa. you will apply for a whole new visa at Savannakhet.

when you leave Thailand at the end of your current stay without re-entry permit, your current stay would get no longer valid. Then you apply for a new multiple entry non-o based on spouse to a Thai national and enter Thailand on that visa being stamped for 90 days.

as of today, savannakhet doesn’t require financial proof for multiple entry Non-O based on marriage to a Thai.
