Thank you folks, both upnotover and Liquorice, for your prompt and informative replies. Kind regards to you both.

Just a quick query about my visa, I am allowed 90 days in country. After this time I usually have a coupe of days in Vietnam etc, and reset the 90 days when I return. I was just wondering whether I had to leave the country, or can I make an appointment at Immigration when yje 90 days is up and get re-stamped for another 90 days? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Kind regards

Thank you DrJack, much appreciated.

Hi Guys, Just need some clarification thats all. I have a non-imm O multi entry Marriage visa that has coming up to its 90 day renewal. My query is can I do a border run, say to Mai Sai and go across the bridge into Myanmar and back again, collecting another 90 days permission to stay, or would I have to fly out of/into Thailand to collect the 90 day permission to stay? It has been many years since I have done the land based crossing and as such don't know what the laws are there at the moment. Thanks.

Try the sister restaurant to Steak of the day in Mea Rim, former 4 seasons chef. Usually has Phuket lobster flown up for the festive period.

Arn't they having a Christmas Fair ?

I got a non-imm "O" marriage visa, multiple entry valid for 1 year last week in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It used to be a 24 hr process, but now is a 48 hr. one. Mind you there are a lot worse place to spend a couple of days than HCMC. Good luck.

Just a quick update folks, as the site has been down due to Cloud issues, I picked up my passport on 15th Nov, and received a 1 yr, non-imm O multiple entry visa, based on Marriage. All went well, and would reccomend going this route to anyone in future, Just make sure you have the correct paperwork. Good luck.

This was several years ago when I got the visa there, so would not surprise me if things had got worse. ( a pity really as Hanoi is a good spot to explore). I did buy a big bunch of flowers for the lady behind the counter in Hanoi, but that does not appear to have softened the staff any.

Forgot to add, I did go to Hanoi for a 1yr ME non-imm O based on marriage. The lady behind the counter was not too happy about me applying for it in Hanoi. Fortunately I had the wife with me and after a bit of ear bending I got issued the visa, but have not heard of too many others getting one in Hanoi.

Hi Megapix, I have had circa 800k in for the last 4 months. Will let you know tomorrow when I get passport back as to the situation. Its the first I am hearing about a 6 month statement with 400k min in it. I gather that Savannakhet now inisists on the 400k regime, am I correct in Assuming that they insist on 2 months before and 1 month after issue ? On another note, the visa application site is now on Tu Xurang rd, around the back of the Consulate. We stayed at the Sila Living Hotel, as it is litterally 5 minutes walk around the corner from the Consulate, It also has several good brewery bars close by in one direction, and in the other direction a Jumbo seafood and a Hokkaido sushi restaurant as well. Hope this helps.

Just in HCMC this morning for a multi-entry non-imm O based on marriage. The lady behind the counter told me that she wanted all the pages of my bank passbook copied, rather that the pages showing the last 6 months only. Also on the visa application form,( which does still state multiple entry on the upper right hand corner), states that the photo to be attached by 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm, while on the web site it states 4cm x 6cm. The last one is the correct size to use. Hope this helps.

Thanks to all who replied, its much appreciated. I used Travex travel on the North side of the moat. Got everything sorted very quickly. Don't know how many travel agents are left in CNX, a lot less since the internet became so readily available, along with the downturn during the COVID years. ust glad this one is still there. Once again thanks to all who helped.

Anyone know where I can purchase return flight tickets from CNX direct to SGN, using only cash. I did try the Vietjet counter at the airport, but they can only sell domestic tickets. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
