TLDR : Answer Summary
The current requirement for obtaining a NON-O visa based on marriage to a Thai national at Savannakhet includes providing financial proof. For a multi-entry NON-O visa, this financial proof is mandatory, while the single-entry NON-O visa does not require it. Recent updates confirm that applicants must bring all necessary documentation as per the embassy's guidelines, including financial statements, and using a local SIM card may be necessary to verify communication.

They ask for financial for the multi entry non-o but not for the single entry non-o.

**Unless that has changed since the week and half since I witnessed this with the two foreigner men in front of me at the Savannakhet embassy. For me as a woman foreigner they never ask for financial but I also got a single entry non-o.

You said "woman foreigner they never ask for financial but I also got a single entry non-o", this can imply that if you had ask for a multi entry they may have asked. Your wording was a bit confusing because its as if the single entry was important which it wasnt. There is no proof of funds for you regardless single vs multi entry.

You hadn't heard any updates because nothing has changed. You're required to show financial proof to apply for a non-O visa based on being married to Thai at Savannakhet.

This is only true for multi entry, not single entry non-O.
