ORIGINAL POSTERHi guys since i read savannakhet is rejecting applications more often these days ... do you think that it will be a problem to apply for a non o based on marriage back to back or should I try another country? Applying for a 1 year extension is out of question for me.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the process of applying for a back-to-back Non-O visa based on marriage at Savannakhet, amidst concerns about possible rejections. Most commenters affirm that there are currently no issues with obtaining one-year, multi-entry Non-O visas based on marriage from Savannakhet, although there seems to be some confusion about back-to-back applications being stopped. It's noted that applying in a different country, like Vietnam, is a viable alternative, especially if one is facing difficulties or uncertainty.

Okay, at this time there are NO reports that there are any problems with year-multi Non-O visas based on marriage at Savannakhet.
Not if it's your first one, not if it's your 5th one. The denials are for OTHER types of visas.
And so this doesn't turn into a shit storm of bad information that sweeps the inter-web I'd say we're done.

I got a non-O marriage back-to-back visa at HCMC, Vietnam two weeks ago. This is after three in a row at Savannakhet. The paperwork is the same. Cost is 200 USD instead of 5,000 THB. The only additional thing needed is a hand-written or typed note from the Thai spouse making a request on behalf of the foreign spouse. Flights are pretty cheap on Viet Jet and Air Asia. Much more interesting city to hang out a few days.

There are NO issues getting year-multi Non-O's based on marriage from there

you are confusing getting a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa based on marriage from Savannakhet with getting other types of visas there.

No back to back Non O, they stopped few weeks ago.

No policy change about back to back non-o multiple entry based on marriage. See my posts for my review the other day.

I believe you are mistaken Mark.
They stopped 90 day single entry back-2-back Non-O visas based on raising half thai children.
There is NO policy change for them issuing year long, multi-entry Non-O visas based on marriage.
When were you there and what was the reason you were getting a Non-O visa?

Which is easier for getting a Non-O visa based on marriage: traveling to Ho Chi Minh or Savannakhet?
