    With specific regard to the one-year MENO (Thai family) visa at Savanakhet: what's the most up-to-date and confirmed information regarding the proof of 400,000 baht.

     

    Can it be in an overseas (non-Thai) bank account?

    Or does it have to be in a Thai bank account ONLY?

    I believe it must be a Thai bank account, and the funds must have been in your account for at least 3 days. 

  2. 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.

    This is not true for most land borders.

     

    Some Cambodian border crossings use it as an excuse to get a bribe (on khmer side) and recently a Malaysian border crossing started to try it on sometimes (on thai side). It is not a genuine requirement and you will normally have zero problems returning same day (or even same hour). 

    Yes, you are require to stay one night at another country, unless you aren't using the agency service. 

  4. I received notice that the AstraZeneca vaccines will be out of stock by 20 July 2021 and waiting for the new stock to arrive. Pfizer arrived, but US Government give a specific condition ... Give to the medical staffs first. However, the government ignored the condition, and give it to the VIP first.

     

    Sinovac isn't recommended to take it, but you can consider Sinopharm that is better than AstraZeneca.

    I live in the Rangsit Pathumthani Thani area and I have been trying for awhile to register.

    As I am 70 and have a Abdominal Aortic Anyurisium, but it is an impossible task as I can not find anything about registration for the vaccine. Everything seems to be to do with those in and around Bangkok.

    I tried the link mentioned in this but I have been unable to register again. The lack of information about registration for those who live elsewhere in the country is diabolical. My wife and step daughter can't even find out any information as to where I can register. If I could get on a plane and go I seriously think I would.

    I already registered Mor Thom in the hospital for AZ on 29 July, as well Municipality for Sinopharm (still waiting). Done in Pathum Thani.
