Is it easier to get a Non O marriage visa in Laos through an agency or by myself, and how long does it take to get my passport back?

@Ralph ************

Yes, a yearly extention of stay is possible with this visa.

I believe its not worth the effort just get a new one. That's what I've been doing for 10+ years.

Have you been recently as it wasn't like this late January?

I've used Savannakhet several times. Question - does this agent allow you to skip the queue? Normally whenever I've been, there hasn't been any queue and I would either bring a self-printed form already filled out with me or (the 1st time I went) I'd get the form from the consulate, fill it out and then hand it in along with my documents once I'm done.

So unless the agent across the street can skip any queues that may form, there's no point in paying him. Easy to do it yourself.

Hi. I need help with this. Asking for my husband.

1. If we would like to apply for a Non-O Thai wife there, does the wife has to go there too?

2. Does the husband need to have some days left before the old visa expired before applying for the new one?

Thank you 🙏
