What are the options for applying for a Non-O visa while in the UK?

Danny Batchelor , going through your recent post you have been advised to apply in Savannakhet already, I close comment on this topic.

Thank you, i have decided to fly direct laos airways so will book now. I only just came back from cambodia, tired but will be happy when i get this. Just dreading booking and then even more changes on the regs.

No, it's walk in service. Drop it off in the morning, pick it up in the afternoon the next day.

Danny Batchelor whats the flight change fee to rebook for late September...October???

Might be an option.

Otherwise...go to Savanaket Laos as suggested before....and try the O-A next time in UK... Good luck.

"if you're married you only need 400k or go to savannakhet in Laos and you don't need to show any money if you're married to get a one year Multi O"

If it was banked today, you couldn't apply until the 19th September at the earliest

Even if it was banked today we are in the UK 7-21st Aug so that may not work.

Danny Batchelor thankfully you are age 50+ ...opens up the possibility of getting the O-A. Just meet the financial requirement.

Looks like your solution may work...needs to be in UK bank account for 3 months. DO IT NOW...

Be sure to deposit MORE than 20,000 GBP...as pound is in decline. Today EXCHANGE is 20,125 GBP.

"Bank statement or evidence of adequate finance for the past 3 months showing a deposit of the amount equal to and not less than 800,000 Baht (approximately £20,000.00) "

Yes i am 55, so if my dad lent it to me i could return it to him as soon as the visa was issued, correct ?

COMBINATION of banked money and proven income also possible with the O-A...

@Danny **********

it does not need to stay banked. Just meet the requirements to obtain the O-A ...IF YOU ARE AGE 50+.

@Ron ******

but he is age 55 ...thankfully. He has possible solution.

@Ron ******

understood.

@Alan ***************

very good advice 😉

@Ja***

he hasn't got any money 😉

@Ron ******

OK ...Thanks ...my suggestion is he consider O-A if age 50+. But on second look ...he is probably not 50+

@James *******

cannot use the combination method for marriage extensions, only retirement

I know this isn't travel advice, but if you want to get to Savannakhet, Laos, the cheapest way is by bus (one way ticket about 400THB, about 12 hours from BKK though - ugh). The second cheapest option is to take a flight from BKK/ DMK to Ubon, and then a bus from Ubon to Savanakhet. They have flights running there daily, and I believe about 800THB for a one way ticket.

IF age 50+ ....

Danny Batchelor how about using COMBINATION of Income and banked money?

Bank statement or evidence of adequate finance for the past 3 months showing a deposit of the amount equal to and not less than 800,000 Baht (approximately £20,000.00) or an income certificate for the past 6 months with monthly income of not less than 65,000 Baht (approximately £1,625.00), or a deposit account plus a monthly income totalling not less than 800,000 Baht. If you send a copy of bank statement, the original reference letter from the banking concerned is necessary.

if you're married you only need 400k or go to savannakhet in Laos and you don't need to show any money if you're married to get a one year Multi O
