What are the requirements and process for obtaining a Non-O visa based on marriage in Thailand?

Question

Update from Thai Embassy in HCMC. No queues, no waiting. I was the only one there when applying and also receiving my visa the next day. I did ME Non O based on marriage.

Documents needed:

- Copy Wife ID both sides with her signature 
- Copy Marriage Certificate both sides with her signature 
- Original Marriage Certificate
- A letter from the wife addressed to the Consulate.
- Copy of Wife Tabien Baan with her signature.
- 1 Picture (didn't need to be passport picture, I used normal ones with glasses on).

I did not have to sign any of the documents and no copies of my passport needed. Fee 200 USD. No questions asked. Friendly staff. Got the visa next day.

The Thai Embassy in HCMC reports that applying for a Non-O visa based on marriage is a straightforward process, taking only one day without any queue. Required documents include a signed copy of the wife's ID, marriage certificate (both sides), original marriage certificate, a letter from the wife to the consulate, a copy of the wife's Tabien Baan, and one photo (not necessarily a passport photo). The process incurs a fee of 200 USD, with no additional questions posed by the friendly staff. Comments from users provide further clarifications on potential additional requirements, such as proof of funds, the nationality of the applicant, and the format of the needed documents.

Take the documents the O/P mentions as you'll be fine. Remember they ONLY take US dollars at the thai consulates in Vietnam AND that you need that hand written letter addressed to the consulate from your thai wife asking that they issue you the visa.
