ubonjoe Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 You apply the morning of one day and pick up your passport the next afternoon. For a single entry non-o visa you will need to show 200k baht in a bank or proof of income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overherebc Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Not 100% sure but I heard that if it's your first time in Penang they will only issue a single entry and then after 90 days you go back with proof of 400,000 or income proof and they will issue a one yesr multi. Willing to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Interestingly, I have a friend who just obtained his non-imm O marriage single entry in Honolulu and the requirements were quite different. He was required to show US$700 in a bank account and no proof of income. They also required a R/T air ticket receipt and a copy of his wife’s passport.

I was there last month and got a multiple entry non-o my first time to Penang, the guy didn't even check the paperwork just quickly flicked through it and asked for the 750 ringgits. We went by train quite enjoyed the trip. Edited November 15, 2019 by phuket Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although in my defence I'll say it would be nice if everything everywhere was done to the same rules. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willing to be corrected. I think what you are remembering is their policy on a Non O to visit your Thai child. Penang is the only consulate in the region who will consider the multiple Non O for this purpose if you are not a resident of the country where you are applying. However, they will generally only issue a single entry if it is your first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhortig Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I have a related question. Once you get the O visa and reenter Thailand, can you goo to your local immigration office and get a "marriage" extention of stay for one year. Is it then renewable every year.? Since it is non O is insurance required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
