Renewing visa

[fredwiggy]

Renewing marriage visa soon.Wife visiting family,left phone here,no contact.Do not have copy of her ID,have everything else.If they don't accept this,what are my options? I think I could get a tourist visa for the two months,and in the interim,when she returns,which is just after my visa date, we could go back and get the one year marriage visa then.

I assume you are writing about applying for a non-o visa at a embassy or consulate. Her ID card will certainly will certainly be needed.

If you have a multiple entry non-o visa and it has not expired yet you could get another 90 day entry from it before it expires.

Maybe you could just do a border hop for a 30 day visa exempt entry that can be extended for 30 days rather than getting a tourist visa.

So do I still go to Savannakhet embassy and ask them for a 90 day extension or 30 day visa? I have a multiple o. It expires the 5th of November I can go then and do whatever is best

You won’t get a New marriage based (entry) visa without your wife’s ID.

If you have a Multiple Entry O Visa you can leave the country and re-enter on or before Nov 5th and you will get a new (final) 90 day stay.

Thanks ubonjoe and elviajero. I'll go there and just extend the visa by the expiration day,and then just come back when my wife is with me to get the new 1 year.
