In case you apply repeat Non O the THB200k they are asking must be in the bank at the application process.

Vientiane does not issue Non O multiple. Currently Savannakhet and HCMC issue them. Penang n Yangon too, but need to show money.

yes, first time no problem for Non O marriage, they just not want that you keep going every 5 month and apply for Non O and than the 60day extension. But things have calmed down a bit so they might relax on that.

Yesterday the applications, first timers got approved in Vientiane. Repeat or second course I can not confirm. I would observe the one year rule, but better you go to FB page of Royal Thai Embassy Vientiane and send your question, there is a very nice person that replies within hours.

@Coco *****

it depends on the Embassy. Vientiane should be OK. Savannkhet not OK. HCMC should be OK.

that was last year announcement, however the wording they got wrong, they means in one full year.

@Coco *****

they have a go at ED application, nowadays no one can confirm what the relevant Thai Embassy or Thai Consulate will do or not.

India is restricted country, means for any new visa application you have to travel back home country or country of residence.

there is a difference between rejected at the window and told no and given the option to apply another Visa. You can try somewhere else in such case. All Consulates still issue Non Ed Visa if all is OK. But in some cases, after a long history of Tourist visa, than for example Savannakhet or HCMC will issue the sticker, but VOID it. In this case you have little or no chance to apply somewhere else in the region. With that I close comments. Reflect your situation and apply for the correct visa. BTW, all newcomers to Thailand are usually granted ED visas, as this is a creditable situation.
