Got a colleague with a Pakistan passport who is looking to get a non-o visa or extension if possible. His situation:
-> Is married to Thai wife (in Thailand,
-> entered on tourist visa or visa on arrival. Got a non-O 90 day in Bangkok earlier this year in June with an agent. Extended this non-o stamp for 60 days himself, which expires Nov 17th.
He would like to get non-o (single OR multiple) at neighbor consulate (Savannakhet, Laos??) OR possibly try for 1 year extension based on marriage.
Realistically, what are his chances? And what docs does he need?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A colleague with a Pakistani passport, married to a Thai spouse, is seeking a Non-O visa or a one-year extension based on marriage. He previously entered Thailand on a tourist visa, obtained a Non-O visa with a 90-day stay, and extended it for 60 days. The comments suggest he can apply for a one-year extension if he has 400,000 baht in a Thai bank account and should consult his local immigration office for specific requirements. For a Non-O visa, Savannakhet, Laos is a viable option, especially for the multiple-entry version, but he needs to verify the acceptance of his passport type.
