TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the validity of information regarding Non-Immigrant 'O' Visa requirements shared two years ago. Commenters confirmed that the information remains accurate, emphasizing that changes in visa rules are often discussed informally rather than officially. They provided insights on documentation needed, experiences with the visa process, and checks on nationality-specific regulations.

still valid, the embassy website says so and people have done it recently. :)

It doesn't apply to all nationalities though, be sure to check if your country is on the list.

Still relevant, my other friends have been doing it for years.

Does this also apply to non immigrant o for Thai child?
Bryan ********
Thanks Robert

Bryan Robert In Laos you will only get the Single Entry Non Immigrant O visa based on having a half Thai child, no financial requirement as far as I know.
Bryan ********
Right but do you know if the financial requirement is needed for Thai child in this case?
Robert *******
The way the visa works is the same for every 1 year multiple entry Non Immigrant visa (except the O-A or O-X), the requirements to get the visa based on having a Thai Child are different.
Robert *******
As this will sound amazing and un believable to most of our members: YES, this information is still correct, the daily changes of visa rules are only mentioned in bars not at Immigration Offices and Consulates.
