Savannakhet single entry non-o marriage visa application today Wednesday 03/01/24

Arrived at 08:45 and was 6th in queue.

Had my ticket to return tomorrow by 09:20.

I took following documents:

▪️Passport and copy of data page and Laos visa & entry stamp

▪️Application form pre-filled and 2,000 baht (copy place across the road has these for 20 baht)

▪️Copy of wife’s passport signed by both her and I

▪️Copy of wife’s ID card signed by both her and I

▪️Copy of wife’s house registration book signed by both her and I

▪️Original Thailand marriage certificate and copy signed by both her and I.

▪️Copy of rental contract for our condo with both our names on. This is not listed on website, but they took the document off me. I also took owner’s house book and ID, TM30 and marriage registration (kor ror 2.) but they gave me those back.

Notes

A fellow Brit directly after me in the queue was originally declined because he didn’t have his wife’s certificate of name change. Luckily, his wife was outside and had the original on her. I DID NOT have this document but my application was accepted without them asking me for it 🤯

Therefore, I would advise you take a copy.

A number of Asian tourists were declined tourist visas because they’d already had one in last 365 days

Make sure you stand single file - very over zealous security guard takes his job extremely seriously 🤣

There is a copy place across from the consulate but it’s 20 baht per page - good for emergency document printing though.

Smile, nod, wai and hope the officer is in a good mood and that they don’t ask for documents not listed on the website!

Don’t buy cocaine offered by the tuk tuk drivers outside 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Cheers 👍🏻

completely different things and processes mate.

I can’t comment on the process for American citizens, but I went to my embassy in Bangkok to affirm I wasn’t already married and get a certified copy of passport. I then had to get these translated and authenticated before applying to register marriage in Thailand. Cost approximately $150 for everything.

i am single and not married. I asked about this document and my home country told me it's $400 USD for it. LOL.

I’m unsure what you mean. If you’re applying for non-o based on marriage to Thai national, you’ll need to show either Thai marriage certificate or authenticated and translated copies of foreign marriage certificate.

If I have a visa sticker in my passport when I pick it up tomorrow 🙏🏻 I will be granted 90 days stay. During that time, I can apply to extend for the year at immigration in BKK. 👍🏻
