How can I obtain a Thai "O" visa for spousal visitation from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City?

Honestly, people with difficult (or even easy) questions that could be awesomely tackled by the great

SHOULD always offer him something, big or small, for those incredible inputs. Nothing is free anymore and, in this case, there must be some humanity for TD's greatness. I'm, now, actually a fan.

Hanoi doesn't issue year long multi-entry Non-O visas based on marriage <- that means unless you're going to come for 90 days, then apply for the year extension inside the country with the 400K baht at the immigration office that's a bad office to choose

HCMC does issue the year-long multi-entry, for 200USD

It is a consulate that requires a mandatory appointment to get in the gate, and you either MEET the requirements on the website, or you don't get the visa.

They are also very hard on people with a passport full of covid extensions (So if that's you, I'd recommend no matter how inconvenient Savannakhet is for you, that's where you need to go)
