I was there 2 weeks ago and got that visa without a letter from my wife. BUT my wife was with me at the consulate dont know if that makes a difference. Didnt see anything about a letter in the online requirements as far as I recall. They did want a copy of thr Thai document for changing her name after we were married.

How many times can a US citizen extend their visa exempt stay in Thailand before needing a visa run?

@Brown *******

even if you have a visa your admission into Thailand is always at the discretion of the individual IO officer so they can refuse you entry (its the same in most if not all countries of the world)

Savannakhet does not require any proof of income to get a marriage visa - some folks dont want to deposit the funds into a Thai bank acxount.
