TLDR : Answer Summary

The 1-year marriage visa (NON-O) is no longer available at the Aranyaprathet border without the 400k proof of funds requirement. Instead, applicants can only obtain it from the Savannakhet consulate in Laos, which currently does not require the proof of funds. However, if the applicant's spouse has changed her name, documentation of that change is necessary for the application.

Yes I did the visa last week at Savannakhet. Only thing is there is a new requirement (at leeast I didnt see it on their website) that you need to have a copy of documents shiwing yout wifes name change (assuming shr did change her namr).

Thats probably not a new requirement. If your wife changed her name, naturally you'd need to provide proof of that.

Ah yes. Aranyaprathet, the notorious border crossing to be avoided BUT it's fine to use it if you're on a non-O multiple entry provided you've spent at least a night in Cambodia. I would only recommend this if you're driving back and are the driver of the vehicle, otherwise you'll be sent upstairs to face long queues with everyone else (unless you arrive around 9pm when there's no one).

There's no embassy at the Cambodian border. You can only get a visa at a Thai consulate or embassy and the only one in SE Asia that doesn't require proof of funds for the 1 year multiple entry non-O based on marriage to Thai is at Savannakhet Laos.

With this visa you'll need to leave and re-enter Thailand every 90 days.

never knew that, very interesting. I only live few km from there and explains why it's always so busy with falang. Many must be doing the same.

5000 bahts. Drop off paperwork in morning. Pick up the next day at 2pm. Tuesday or Wednesday morning is the best time.

What are the requirements for the multi-entry 12 months Non-O marriage visa in Savannakhet, and is proof of funds still necessary?
