Good morning! Has anyone gone to Savannakhet recently to obtain a one-year marriage visa? If so, can you let me know how many days it took and if there are any special requirements other than the standard documentation. Also, is it necessary for my Thai wife to accompany me? Thank you in advance for your information!
TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a one-year marriage visa in Savannakhet, you can apply in the morning before 11 AM and collect your passport the following afternoon around 1:30 PM. The cost is 5000 baht. Required documents include the original rose-bordered marriage certificate, copies of the marriage certificate (front and back), copies of your Thai wife's ID card (front and back), her house registration book, your passport data page, your Lao visa and entry stamp, a completed application form (available at the gate), and two passport-sized photos. Your Thai wife does not need to accompany you to the application.
