My husband just got his Non-O visa in Ho Chi Minh City. It was pretty easy and the documents were simple. You can apply while you’re there using the Thai e-visa system. All he needed was:
- Our marriage certificate
- Thai family member’s ID card
- Proof of funds (he just showed his VA disability letter)
- Hotel reservation in Ho Chi Minh
If they don’t ask for anything extra, it usually takes about 5 business days.
My husband’s injury is service related, and that’s why he deserves his benefits. It’s not just about PTSD which he doesn’t have. His claim is for a physical injury he got while serving, and it should be recognized as such.
