Is it possible to get a Non-O visa based on marriage in Vientiane instead of Savannakhet?

@Conner ******

now we're getting somewhere.. All you need to buy at either Vientiane or Savannakheht is a 90 day single entry Non-O visa based on marriage.

THEN once you come in you'll get a 90 day entry stamp and when you have 30 days or less left on that you go to the immigration office and apply for your yearly extension of stay by meeting the financial requirements and submitting the correct documentation. As a rule when you apply for a yearly extension it goes under consideration for 30 days then you go back to get the year extension inked into your passport. AFTER you get that year extension inked in you can buy a re-entry permit that will let you exit/re-enter the country for the next year.

I think what is confusing people (and possibly you with the suggestions you're getting) IS we don't know if you want to get a 90 day single entry Non-O visa based on marriage and THEN apply for a yearly extension of stay at the immigration office where you live by meeting the proof of 400K baht in a thai bank account for 2 months before you apply

OR

IF you are wanting to get a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa from a thai consulate nearby (that doesn't require proof of funds to issue that visa) and where you'll get a 90 day stamp, then when it runs out you exit/re-enter the country to get a new 90 day stamp and you do that the whole year the visa is valid for.

it is possible in Vientiane but you can only get the Single Entry Non Immigrant O Visa.

1 year Non Immigrant O based on marriage without finances:

Copy 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 (only Vientiane or Savannakhet)

Letter from wife addressed to Consul (Only HCMC)

2 passport sized photos

a filled out application form

Show the original wedding certificate

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 2000 Thb get you a 90 day single entry Non-O visa based on marriage.

Or 5.000 Thb and you get the 1 year Multiple Entry Non Immigrant O visa based on marriage only at Savannakhet.

200 USD in crispy new bills to pay the fee in HCMC

Edit 15 Jan 2020, out of a report:

If the wife did a name change:

Tabien Baan name change edit on the back page from maiden to your surname OR

The certificate that shows an official family name change

Best to go to Savannakhet or HCMC Saigon. These two do NOT REQUIRE financial $$$ in bank. Vientiane does.
