Is savanahket in Laos the only place to get 1yr multi entry family visa without proof of finances ? I am sure I read on this site there was another embassy in a neighbouring country that also did this but cannot find it on the search function.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion focuses on obtaining a 1-year multi-entry family visa for Thailand at the Savannakhet consulate in Laos without the need for proof of finances. While Savannakhet is highlighted as a straightforward option with specific documentation requirements, some users mention that other locations, such as Ho Chi Minh City, may have changed their policies. Additionally, the possibility of obtaining a work permit on these visas seems confirmed by comments from the community.

sorry thats the one I was thinking of my terminology isn't great but non imm O based on marriage sounds the same as a family visa thank you for clarification

The 'family visa' is generally for guardians/dependant relatives as opposed to marriage. It's the same visa(non imm O) but issued for different criteria and with different requirements

Same sphere of visas, generally people refer to the "family visa" as the a Non-O based on Thai children though.
