As a rule getting a year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type O visa based on having a thai wife in Savannakhet needs this documentation:

marriage certificates front & back (thai or foreign ones translated into thai)

copy of your thai wife's thai I/D and her house book listing

copy of your passport data page

your visa to Lao

your entry stamp to Lao

That and 5000baht gets you the visa..

Ho Chi Minh will give a year-long, multi-entry Non-O based on marriage from them.

original marriage certificate

copies of:

front&back of the marriage certificate

front&back of your thai wife's I/D card

thai wife's house book listing

data page of your passport

You also need a letter from your wife asking that the consulate issue the visa.

Remember the thai consulates in Vietnam ONLY take US dollars and the year-long, multi-entry Non-O is $200 USD

There are a couple ways to go about it. First there is no visa called a marriage visa. There is a Non-Immigrant Type-O <-other which is issued for a variety of reasons, marriage being one..

To get a "yearly extension of stay based on marriage to a thai national, you'd need 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name for 60 days before you apply at the immigration office for the extension, OR you'd need a letter from your embassy stating you had income of 40K baht per month. There is also documentation like the thai marriage certificates, copy of your freedom to marry affidavit, pictures of you & your wife standing in front of the address numbers where you live, a couple pictures of the wedding, and couple of you two sitting around the house.

A lot of people who don't meet or don't want to meet the financial criteria for an in country extension of stay go to the Thai Embassy in Savannakhet Lao and get a year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type-O visa.. They don't require proof of financials there and that visa is good for 90 days at a time in country, then you exit/re-enter and get another 90 days. You do this for the entire year..

Good luck

Tm 30 is for reporting your address, TM 28 is for moving from one address to another one.

Do you both have to be living at that address or not
