What documents are needed to obtain a multi-entry Non-O visa due to marriage with a Thai national at the Thai Consulate in Savannakhet?

Did it in January - you'll need to have :

• original rose bordered marriage certificate (if you were married in Thailand)

• signed copies of the following :

- front/back of the marriage certificate (signed by you and your Thai wife)

- [front/back of the Kor Ror 2 (signed by you and your Thai wife) it may not be needed but it only costs 20B from your Amphur]

- change of name certificate if applicable (signed by her)

- front/back of your Thai wife's Thai ID card (signed by her)

- Thai wife's house book listing (signed by her)

- data page of your passport (signed by you)

- your Laos visa & entry stamp (signed by you) [across from the Consulate Tony has a road side office who will fill the form out for you for 200B and do any photocopies at a small cost]

• Hand written letter addressed to the Thai consulate in Savannakhet by your Thai wife (in English or Thai) requesting that they issue you a year long multi-entry Non-O Visa based on marriage to a Thai national (just a short letter stating your name, DOB, passport number, marriage date, her name, DOB and Thai ID number)

• filled out Savannakhet specific application for visa with 2 passport sized photo on it (available at the Consulate, see * below).

These things and 5000 baht counted into their hand should get the visa for you.

*On the Visa application form at the top right write "ONE YEAR-MULTIPLE ENTRY, 5000 BAHT" where you mark the box for the Non-Imm visa and, for the first part of Part 5, “Name, Address and Telephone No. of a Guarantor in Lao PDR”, use the details of your overnight Laos hotel or, if Tony completes the form for you, he puts his details.
