So, you crossed Laos with her, paid 1.5k baht or wtv to get the Laos visa on arrival. Stayed at hotel for 3 days in Laos (until visa was ready). Then you all went back into Thailand by that same border. with your 90 days stamp in your passport? So she's basically a fixer, but I didn't know they were still operating. When did you pay her the 9k baht? And what was included in the 9k baht? (the visa, with or without transportation, hotel, etc).

@Terry **********

Yes, but you were able to obtain a 90 Days Non-O without proof of funds in Vientiane, which is a miracle. I'm very interested in that part. Because what you paid is a lot less then what agents charge in Thailand for the same service (without you leaving the country). I will call Susada tomorrow to see if I'm eligible. I'm 39 years old married to a Thai. I don't have the 400k, but if I get the 90 days, I know how to use an agent in Thailand to get the extra 1 year.

You paid 9k baht excluding hotels, transports, etc?

You flew back in from Vientiane to Bangkok after receiving Non-O or crossed the border?

@Terry **********

Was this for a 90 days Non-O based on marriage?

So you went to Laos knowing that it would not work, but found a fixer at the border? I thought such practices were extinct.

@Terry **********

She took your info on the Thai side, checked if she can do the visa for you at the Thai consulate in Laos. Got the okay, then you guys went to Laos. On the Laos side, you gave her your passport, marriage certificate, etc, all the documents, then 3 days later she gave you your passport back at said hotel with the 90 days Non-O based on marriage in it?

@Terry **********

I will PM you.

@Terry **********

How the hell did you get a Non O in Laos without money in the bank as one of the primary requirement?

Did you had 400k in bank account?

@Jordee *****

It depend on the office. Some immigration office you can transfer and the next day already start the process. Others, the money need to be there sitting for 2-3 months. If the money is there for 90 days, it will work in every office.

You don't need 40k Euros for a marriage visa.

You need 400k Baht, which is $10.64k Euros, give or take.

And it's not a payment, it's a proof of fund.
