Hi everyone, I’m a US citizen married to a Thai national and planning to apply for a Non-Immigrant O visa (based on marriage) outside Thailand. I prefer a multi-entry visa for flexibility, as I may need to leave briefly for business, but I’m open to a single-entry visa if multi-entry is too difficult to obtain. I’d like to use US bank statements and pay stubs for financial proof, as I don’t want to transfer funds to a Thai bank account at least for the intial 90 day. I’m opem to transfer at the 1 year extension. Can anyone recommend the best consulates/embassies (e.g., Penang, Vientiane, Ho Chi Minh City, etc.) that accept US financial documents for single- or multi-entry Non-O visas? Has anyone had success with these documents, and what was required? Any recent experiences or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I am also curious if anyone has had success applying for multiple Non-Immigrant O visas instead of doing the 1 year extension. Thank you!

***For further context. I was married here in Thailand and I am here at the moment on a tourist visa. We’ve applied for a CR-1 and now it is just a waiting game and buying time until we get approval.
