@Tracey *******

yes, they are closed tomorrow.

you can get 17 months from that visa (15 from the visa and then a 60 day married to a Thai extension). It’s a pain to have to leave every 90 days but to me it’s worth it. It’s the visa I’m on now and I don’t mind the travel every 90 days.

Anyone who votes no has no idea what you’ve done for this community.

I’m on here, not only this group, everyday and see your replies to just about every comment/post. I have yet to see anything negative come from you.

If you were to leave, this group would be losing one of the most informative people on FB, IMHO. The visa knowledge you have is incredibly useful for everyone.

@Harry *********

yes, I understand. What I was saying is they take the photocopied documents. It’s common knowledge that when you’re dealing with visas/extensions you should always have the originals with you. When I was there they didn’t even ask to see my original documents.

@เตเต้ *****

when I was there in March, they asked about the letter. Listening to one of the most knowledgeable persons regarding Thai visas, I had the letter ready for them.

Unfortunately for us, they are very inconsistent with what documents they want. Always be over prepared is my model. Travelling that distance and not having something they require, isn’t something I want to experience.

@Harry *********

incorrect. They take all photocopied documents. I brought all the originals and wasn’t asked to produce them.

Savannakhet is the easiest. Drop off paper work in the morning. Pick up your passport in the afternoon of the next day.

I will mention this. There has been some problems with them asking for your wife to be there with you. The other day, there was a post about this. Some in line were asked some were not. If he is able to have his wife there with him, I suggest he does so. If not, I would have him get his wife to write a letter stating she wants them to give him the multiple entry non-o. Also, have her prepared to receive a call from them to confirm everything.

@Tod ********

yes, I understand. Like most of us know, at any given time the IO can ask for everything or the minimal.

All I was getting at was, go over prepared and hope for the best.

I will be back there early next year. Looks like I’m going to be taking my wife with me.

@Ellie ******

it all comes down to the IO, which I’m sure you’re well aware of. Tod has a perfect list which did list the letter on it. I would suggest any and everyone follows that list.

@James *******

I’ve been preaching this requirement for months. The majority of the people laughed at me, said it wasn’t a requirement. It’s better to be over prepared than be rejected because some IO wants to nitpick.
