TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a NON-O (Marriage visa) at the Thai Embassy in Vientiane, Laos, you will need to gather specific documents. Note that applicants typically receive a 90-day single entry visa when applying based on marriage.

Quite sure that most of us have no problem with you being the guru as to all things 'visa' however I suspect that some of us would be curious to know the source(s) of your knowledge?

@David *******
they don't do police orders for how visas are sold at the thai consulates in other countries :/

It's the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office that runs consulates not the thai immigration office. :)

They let a most consulates come up with their own rules about how they issue visas. :O That's why you have the wildly disparate rules about issuing different visas depending on where you go.

I could be wrong, BUT I do believe my Penang information is correct and you do need 400K baht now to get a year-long, multi-entry Non-O based on marriage or raising half thai kids.

marriage..so when did that happen..was there a police order?
Tod *********
@David *******
, and were those were based on marriage to a thai? OR based on supporting half-thai kids?

AFAIK; Penang went to the 400K baht for marriage AND raising half thai kids in order to get a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa..

I have several 1 year visas in passport issued Penang...with 100k in bank. Most recent last year. Inconsistances based on autonomy of consuls and embassies ...very frustrating..!

Just what I was told by few guys living up north. I live south Trang province so Malaysia is easiest.

The ONLY two consulates in S/E Asia that will issue a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa based on marriage with NO proof of funds are the consulates in Savannakhet Lao and Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam.

Penang WILL issue a year-long, multi-entry Non-O based on marriage with proof of 400K baht (or the equivalent) in a bank account (no seasoning required).

@David *******
You never got a year-long, multi-entry Non-O based on marriage from the thai consulate in VIENTIANE...

@Tod ********
Is that a new rule ? I and others used to get 1 year.

Went to Penang and tried showing 100k in bank as usual..no more..90day only.?

you don't need copies of your thai wife's passport :/

Just copies of her thai i/d card and her house book listing
