Just got back from Savannakhet. Multiple O for Marriage was easy. The only doc the IO studied was the original red-bordered marriage certificate. A grand total of 7 pieces of paper submitted. Only down-side is that Savannakhet may be the most boring town in Asia.

Anyone confirm if it's necessary for the wife to sign the copy of the marriage certificate? Much appreciated.

 Locals tell me more 'Tour' vans are arriving every month. Have two decent coffee places opposite the Consulate already.

 no, if you follow some news they have been very strict on ED and Tourist. It will remain a small quiet place

Not so easy to get too. Took me a 6 hour drive from Korat. That said, I suspect it will get busier there.

I stayed at the Pilgrim Kitchen & Inn in the old town. Basic 2 star place but the staff are very friendly and speak good English. Not much to see but the accommodation was within walking distance of 3 reasonable restaurants/bars.

I'm going to HCMC to do mine next month, but it's useful to know that Savannakhet is still doing this without much hassle.

Werner Brizz I could only get a 3 month O visa in London following the change of rules, so this gives me 12 months (15 with a carefully placed visa run) to get everything in order for an extension.

Did your wife submit a letter asking them to grant the visa for you? I hear this is required in other places.
