  1. Whether or not there is a free visa entry, many foreign tourists choose to stay. End up staying too long and becoming illegal. Let us not complain that Thai people overstaying abroad have become illegal. The same goes for foreigners who stay in Thailand; many overstay and become illegal residents.
  2. I believe it must be a Thai bank account, and the funds must have been in your account for at least 3 days.
  3. My country and the Thai government signed a bilateral agreement to waive visa requirements.
  4. I took a bus from Bangkok to Mukdahan in the evening and arrived the next day. The bus costs 620 baht per way. Then I took the first International Bus to the Savannakhet Bus Station, which cost 50 baht. At Laos immigration, I must pay a tourist tax of 100 baht to the immigration officer and a Ministry of Finance entrance fee of 20 baht. Check in to the hotel and pay 500 baht per night, including breakfast. Then I walked to the Royal Thai General Consulate and waited for the office to open at 9am. The documents required for the Non-Immigrant O (Dependent Visa) are as follows: - Fill up the application form - 2 Passport Photos - Original passport - Copy of the front and last pages of passport - Original Marriage Certificate (show only) - Copy of your marriage certificate (both signed). - A copy of your spouse's Thai ID (signed by the spouse) - A copy of your spouse's house registration book (signed by spouse) - Update your bankbook and show the original bank book (400,000 baht inside for the last week). - Copy of all your bankbook pages When I submitted the documents to the consulate, they never asked any questions and simply handed me a small piece of paper for collection. My visa fee is zero baht. The next day, around 2pm, I go get the passport. I took a tuk-tuk to the Laos border immigration and paid 50 baht. Smoothly cross the border without paying anything. Pay 55 baht for the bus ticket. Before going to Thai immigration, you must fill out an arrival card. That is my journey.
  5. New rule, in the case.the General Consulate will ask for it. Otherwise, you will waste your time, and money.
  6. Yes, you are require to stay one night at another country, unless you aren't using the agency service.
  7. Yes, it is new. Better to get it photocopy before you submit your application. Otherwise, you need to run out to get it copy and you miss your Queue.
  8. I just got the Non Imm (O) Marriage Visa for One year on 11 January 2023. This is the expenses and procedures; Bus from Bangkok to Mukdahan - 653 baht Bus from Mukdahan to Savannakhet - 50 baht Entry Laos Tourist Tax at Immigration - 100 baht Hotel for 1 night - 630 baht Bus from Savannakhet - Mukdahan - 95 baht Exit Laos Tourist Tax at Immigration - 100 baht Bus from Mukdahan to Bangkok - 653 baht Documents required by the Thai Consulate; Make sure you carry a pen with you Application Form to fill-up Two Passport photos Give your Passport to do Visa Copy of your Passport Copy of your Laos Visa Copy of your Thai Spouse ID Copy of your Thai Spouse Passport Copy of your Thai Spouse Tabian Baan Copy of the Marriage Certificate Show the original Marriage Certificate Application for visa start at 9am - 11am Collection visa start at 2pm - 4pm (Next day). Make sure you check whether got public holiday in Laos and Thailand. Prepare 5,000 baht for one year multiple entry. I'm exempted from the visa fee due to both countries got agreement. Remember that you are require to exit from Thailand every 90 days. If land border crossings, you need to stay another country for 1 night, make sure you check whether you need visa to enter the neighbour country. If you are flying out, you can return the same day. Many foreigners didn't follow the procedures, end up they got tourist visa for 2 months and single entry visa.
  9. Never forget all the electricity generate from the natural gas. Russia stop exporting gas, and they are the biggest gas supplier. So prepare for the electricity to increase double. Almost everything we use gas ... cooking, transportation and etc.
