Good afternoon all,

This question is for the South Africans in the group. I just found out that South Africans can no longer obtain any type of Visa from Savannahket, I use to get my 1 year non O Multiple entry from there.

Does anyone have any experience applying for the Non O at Vientiane?

Do they issue Multiple entry visas there?

Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi. I need to extend my daughter's non-o visa to be in line with mine. I have a non-b. What are the documents that are needed at CW immigration? I have her birth certificate verified as well as a Thai copy. A copy of my visa. The request for extension form. Is there anything else that is needed? We are South Africans so is there anything specific for us? I have tried looking for the information on the immigration website but have not been successful. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi all!

I'm a South African living in Bangkok and have a Visa exempt stamp valid for another 18 days (exp. 9 June).

I am looking to extend my stay by a few months (6 months or more).

What are the easiest/cheapest options for extensions or a new Visa?

Thanks in advance!👍

Hi,

I am a South African living here in Thailand. When I collect my new passport from the embassy, do I have to transfer my visa on the same day as collection? Or can I do it the following day, but still within 24 hours from the time of collection?

Thanks in advance for any responses. :)

Hi ! Please can anyone clarify... I am doing my second land run to Laos for my 60 day tourist visa on the 23rd December from Bangkok. I am South African. Do I need to have 20 000 baht in cash to show at immigration ? I will be going with the Thai Visa Run company. Is there anything else I need to show? Thank you

Hi! I am a South African teaching in Phuket and need to do my visa run for non immigrant B before 18 December. Can anyone tell where I can go to as I have been informed that South Africans cannot be helped in Penang anymore. Not sure if it is true. Thanks in advance.
