ORIGINAL POSTER
Just a quick review of my trip to Savanaket to get me marriage visa. I was on 30 days stamp but it was in my old passport, at the border they transferred it to my new passport and I was off to Laos. Turned up at Thai consulate about 8am, went across the street and paid the guy 100b to fill in my visa aplication, have a coffee and chill. The consulate opened at 9, I was 5th in a queue. Documents required are: copy of your marriage certificate, original ducument of your marriage certificate (they just want to look at it), copy of your spouse ID front and back, signed, copy of house book with you spouse name in it signed, passport and 5k for multiple entry visa. CHECK THESE PAPERS BEFORE YOU GO TO GET A VISA. Guy in front of me didn't and he found out that he didn't have a copy of his wife's ID but driving licence. Bad luck. Anyway, picked up my passport next day at 2pm and I was off. At the border had a chat with friendly immigration lady, she stamped me for 90 days and that was it.

Arriving at the Thai consulate by 8 am, they found it efficient, paying a local to help with the application. The consulate opened at 9 am, and they were 5th in line. Necessary documents included a marriage certificate (copy and original), a signed ID of the spouse, a signed house book showing the spouse's name, passport, and 5,000 THB for a multiple-entry visa.
