Hi all I'm British, anyone had experience getting the NON - O Multy Entry based on marriage in Penang, Malaysia? I know Savannakhet easy but I wouldn't mind visiting another country in the future. I have heard more paperworks needed. Cheers all.

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.

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.

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.
