ORIGINAL POSTERLatest update for your information: I just got back from Savannahkhet for my new Multiple Entry O Visa based on being married to a Thai. (the 6th overall) Just like always zero problems and all in all we were there on thursday maybe with 30 - 40 applicants there.
Requirements have NOT changed. For me :
- Passport and passport copy and a passport photo
- Copy of my wife's ID card (signed by her the day before)
- Copy of Tabian Ban (house paper) (signed by my wife the day before)
- copy of our marriage certificate !!! We do NOT have a Thai Marriage Certificate just our German, legally translated and confirmed by the German Embassy in Bangkok.
- AND the original of the marriage certificate.
Charge as usual 5000 baht, processing time a day.
Travel Cost from Sisaket to Savannahkhet:
Mini Van Sisaket - Ubon 43 baht oneway
Mini Van Ubon - Mukdahan 145 (Return 111) Baht
Bus Mukdahan - Savannahkhet 45 baht oneway
Accommodation simple but clean 250 - 450 Baht available.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user recently obtained a Multiple Entry O Visa in Savannakhet, Thailand, with no issues, and detailed the required documents, which include a passport, wife's ID, Tabian Ban, marriage certificate (German), and a signed copy of these documents.

Because on this visa you don't have to 90 day report, do you need to file a TM30 every 90 days when you enter Thailand?

Yes if you play your cards right

I guess it's easier to get a similar visa at Sisaket Immigration, OK, the above mentioned multiple o - m visa is supposed to be valid one year and depending on the date (enter before:) you can be lucky to use it almost 2yrs without renewing!

English only! !

Wäre das in Sisaket auf der Immigration nicht einfacher ?

U know with our visa u can get 17 months out of it? Get another 60 days on dependency at your immigration office as the 15 months is nearing its end.
