Yeah sounds like I'll be doing the same. Do Savannakhet ever scrutinise the amount of visas issued from there for marriage or is it different from the tourist visas?

It would be Udon Thani immigration.

Yes, I have the Multi Non O based on Marriage but I don't bounce every 90 days because I work away for 6 weeks then come back to Thailand for 3 weeks on a rotation.

I'm leaving Thailand today, so I'd be back around the 24th/25th Feb for 3 weeks. My enter before date is the 11th March 2019.

It doesn't look like I'll be able to achieve what you mention above and I'll look at going to Savannakhet for another multi entry visa on the once this one has expired.

Thanks Todd.

Apply for a multiple entry tourist visa for her before you go. Valid for 6 months and you can come and go as you please

I'd guess you'd run into some issues. Will be interested to see if you do decide to try with that history.

Multiple Entry Non Immigrant O Type Visa based on marriage to a Thai. Check your nearest consulates website for the requirements need for the visa applucation.

Potentially pick up a tourist visa, 20,000 THB, hotel booking and return travel tickets whilst they're on the journey north.

@Robert ******

just had a look. I imagine they have a history of back to backs.

A friends arrived back here last year after a few weeks sabbatical in the UK, previously he'd done border bounces and visa runs for about a year back to back..... He was also denied and sent home.

I've been working offshore doing & in and out of Thailand on visa exempts since the end of 2010. In this time I've had two tourist visas only, the rest have been visa exempts, I also spent about 6 solid months here when I was laid off at the end of and I extended various visa exempt entries for 60 days as I have kids here. For the last 8 months I've had a non imm O.

All in all, I've been asked at immigration twice what I'm doing here and why I come so much. A quick explanation at the desk and in through to collect my baggage both times. I've never actually had to show proof of anything.

Based on my experience I think you'll be fine, but have the three proof of's too be sure. They're definitely clamping down.

Okay cool. Thanks

I thought I'd read the requirements, such as banked money or monthly income were much less for the extension based on having children. That's basically why I was asking the question. Either way I seem to have two options.
