ah ok I see, makes sense, 2nd year get a multi re entry. I will decide whether to do this but I think I am leaning towards getting married there using exepmtion, then on next trip go to savannakhet for spouse visa, just not enough time do do it all in one trip

I am beginning to think may be worth geting O A multi entry from Uk before i get married and live there as I will be leaving often working in other countries. Am I correct in saying every time I return I get another year? That will save some hassle :-)

how would they notice if you put yours at the front and moved them all back lol

although I dd find this on their website so may still be ok

Just read this post as recent as MArch, do you know if this has impacted on document requirements for non immigran O spouse?

This is an update as I just came back from Savanakhet. (March 2017)

As of Jan 27th 2017, all tourist visa applicant must show a bank statement of having at least 20,000 THB in your account (or 40,000 if travel with family). It seems like this change had a big impact on the amount of people who apply for tourist visa as when I visit the Thai consulate, there were only 20-25 people applying for visa (I was one of the few applying for tourist visa). The shops opposite to the consulate, who help in making copies and so, told me that since the new regulation, the number of applicants dropped dramatically.

Tod Daniels I doubt China d it but UK and HK might I iwll check as I will be in those also, if not Lao it is, which will be the casse after retirement also

I am working in those other countries lol I dont mind having to show the funds so no issue there.

silly question lol it is ok to drive there to do it? Also is it possible to do from another consulate such as in Hong Kong, or Beijing or other Chineese cities? :-)

long way to go though ! cant do same in BK?

Cheeers, that is what I was looking to do until I spoke to UK consulate today lol they told me to get the 90 day then apply in LOS. WIll revert to plan A.
