Yes I did the visa last week at Savannakhet. Only thing is there is a new requirement (at leeast I didnt see it on their website) that you need to have a copy of documents shiwing yout wifes name change (assuming shr did change her namr).
Yep docs about you wifes name change are a new requirement there. I got the same visa last week and also had to show docs for my wifes change of name - my wife had seen this on some Thai websites before out trip so luckily was prepared
I just did a 1yr multi entry visa in Savannakhet last week - I had the 400knin my Thai bank account but we needed cash ASAP for a family medical emergency so I went undet for a cohple of days before I could replace it. So went to Laos and will switxh back to an in country extension later.
its been a few years for me but when I applied for a visa to get mh now wife a US Visa the fiancee visa (then get married within 3 months of arriving in the US) was much faster to get than the visa for a wife.
Bikhub will not open accounts for US citizens (ay least nkt any more). SatangPro will but account opening takes forever and endlesd papereork to submit).
Strange I have a Kasikorn savings account and I get paid interest (twice a year June and Dec). But rate is very low so as others say best ti leave the money overseas if you want interest for it.
