Okay.. I am not one of the experts. Just thought I would help to clarify your question so the admins can give you a better answer :)

You have to make online booking in advance in Vientiane, Savanakhet is walk in.. Maybe you should clarify what type of non o you are after as that could be a lot of different visas. As I understand from your post in another group you are after the non o based on being over 50 right?

Sounds sketchy at best

Yes we send picture of her ID, and pages 1 and two of the blue book (house page and the page with her name)

Okay thanks

, just assumed that it was an automated mail. I guess never assume anything here ;) I am covered with tm30 for now. And dont need to travel in the near future. Will wait and see.

Yes you can be assistant teacher without degree. Not sure you could long term. But for a year or two, sure.

Interesting.. Lots of people complaining about issues due to this using transferwise.. Good for him though!

Not only did he get leniency over not having 12 months of transfers. As I understand your post his last transfer, in July, was not even registered as an international transfer? I think the SMT means smart transfer, and is a domestic transfer. Did he have to get any further proof of that specific transfer, did the bank mark it as international in their letter despite of it being registered as domestic or did the IO just accept it as it was?

You are not extending anything "again".. You can extend a 30 day visa exemption once with 30 days, as you already did. Then you got a new turist visa, and yes, that can also be extended by 30 days at immigration. Each entry on turist visa/visa exempt lets you extend once for 30 days.

@Pierre ********

technically doesn't get you anywhere.. I would say, if he has been refused two times. It would be better to go at another option. He mentioned being married. He could apply for an extension based on marriage in stead and be well above the threshold of 40k a month with the stated transfers.
