Hi Andrew, I did the Non-O in Savannakhet about 2 months ago. I submitted everything on a Monday morning after crossing the bridge and paid the fee at the consulate at 9:00 am sharp. I got a request for follow-up docs (name change certificate for my wife) later the same day, which I provided immediately. I got the visa sent to me on Wednesday evening around 5:15 pm. As for the money, it doesn't need to be seasoned. In my case, I put the 400K in a few days before crossing. I provided the consulate with both a statement I got from the bank app and a bank visa letter from a branch.

Thanks. I got the money taken care of. I was on a Non-B with a work permit for a while and just switched back to Non-O. It's been quite some time since I've done the in-country extension.

OK, thanks for confirmation.

@Tod ********

Thanks, Tod. So it has to be at CW rather then Laksi, right? Do you or anyone else have a copy of the latest required docs list?

@Tod ********

Hi Tod, I’m pleased to say that they granted the 60-day extension based on visiting family at CW. My wife asked if anyone can do this and they said yes, as long as you have the right docs. They wanted to see all my termination paperwork from the company.

@Tod ********

Will do. Is that walk-in at CW? I remember having to make an appointment for the 1-year extension.

@Tod ********

I don’t believe so.

@Tod ********

Thanks.🙏🙏I’ve done this extension before and will report back on the success.

@Tod ********

Thanks, Tod. I’ll head out to CW and ask if they’ll do the visit family extension. I’m trying to avoid leaving the country as I already have a business trip planned in April and hoping to hold out until then.

@Chris *******

Do I have to jump straight to the 1-year Non-O extension? My issue is that I need time to season the funds.
