What are the requirements for obtaining a NON-O Multi Entry visa based on marriage in Penang, Malaysia?

I went to Seoul because I have done the one in Lao at savannkhet before and from Chiang Rai it is so far away. It takes 2 days to get there two days there and then two days to come back so that's already a week. And a stone's throw away from the amount of plane ticket is to Seoul. I had some friends that I stayed with in seoul so that covered my housing but food isn't too expensive, it's a bit more than Thailand but all things considered Seoul is still a pretty cheap place to be. I will for sure never do this visa in laos again now that I know that I can do this in seoul. To me, it's worth the little extra money.

Yes, here is a copy of the email they sent when I asked them what to bring....

Kindly provide documents as below:

Thai Spouse documents:

1. copy of passport

2. copy of identification card

3. copy of household registration

4. copy of marriage certificate

Applicant's documents:

1. Application form

2. 2 photos

3. 1 copy of passport

4. visa fee single entry won

multiple visa 200,000 won

Your wife's government id..... her blue id card. 0 is about 175 USD

I got a round trip on air Asia for 10,000 from chiang rai. Stayed a week. Seoul is amazing. It's a 2 day turnaround on visa though. If you turn in paper monday, you pick up Wednesday.

Copies of wife passport, government id, tabien baan, marriage certificate (and real one but they didn't look at it), copy of my passport, application and 2 photos. And the fee, 200,000 korean won for the multiple entry, and it's 80,000 for single.

i got it in seoul a month ago. was a breeze. no finances required.

Go see Jim Tachinamurthy in Penang. He is the resident expert on all visas for Thailand in Penang and got us our non O single entry which we then extended based on retirement. He knows all the rules and has ins with the consulate. You can messenger him by typing his name

Another consulate that requires the same documentation Savannakhet does is the one in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam (y) They don't require proof of funds

my mate from Koh Samui go every year, has what

@Clifford ********

says and easy with no problems

Penang copies of Marriage papers wife's I'd copy your passport and your Bankbook showing funds

penang definitely wants to see 400K in the bank (but it doesn't have to be a thai account and it doesn't have to be seasoned).

@Te***

, I thought that 90 day single entry Non-O first, then go back and get the year-long, multi-entry from them was based on having half thai kids not on marriage. BUT I don't know either.

did hear not sure if do Non o multi based on marriiage in Penang need to show funds and bank statements also if you are applying sor said visa you only get a 90 day one if its the first time applying ,,,,dont quote me on this only what i have heard
