Colleague of.mine has the Muliple O Visa ( Marriage ) and is unable to show funds of 40 K per month income for his 90 reporting in Khon Kaen.

He does the border rin to Savanaket and takes his car over with him.

Since when has proving 40k/month financials been a part of 90-day reporting? Or is this something unique to the KK IO?

Multi entry non im “O” ….. 5000 Baht
Laos visa every 90 days…. (4 x 1500) 6000 Baht
Travel and accommodation (1st trip overnight) then 3 x border hops… 2000 Baht maybe if you do it on the cheap.
Total cost about 13,000 +
Not to mention time and effort.

Much better to pay for the extension at the immigration office…. 1900 Baht with maybe 500 baht in tips per year.
Yes, but he gets his arse out of Ban Nork at least 3 times a year, stretches his legs (and mind) and doesn't have to ponder if admitting to freely tipping the oxygen wasters at Udon IO is really some sort of social stigma.

What is the time window for the 90 day report? 7 days before to the expiration day?

I think 7 before/7 after, but I've gone in 2-3 weeks early with the excuse that I'll be out of town when it's due. No problem.

I admit it would be cheaper to pay the 1900 baht, but Udon wanted 3000 and I refused and instead I had to make a border run, since then I stay away.

Is this visa still available at Savannakhet? I used to get a similar visa every year from the UK but, they told me last month that it is no longer available. The options given were to get a tourist visa, get a 3 month O based on marriage and extend locally with the financial implications this incurs or get an OA.

I would be interested to know who gave you that information samster..
If it was the Embassy in London then they were certainly incorrect. They have just updated their visa pages.
A non 'o' by reason of marriage is still a valid reason for the visa - with some supporting documents..

They still quote fees for the 1 year multiple entry... £125..

If it was one of the regional consulates then I would not be surprised.. their wings have been clipped by the Embassy severely over the last 4 years... :(

15 before 7 after.

Go in earlier and the 90 will start from the reporting date.
Go in after 7 and pay a fine.

Yes indeed Bob, it was the Hull consulate. I had seen on their site that the 1 year multi entry was no longer available so rang to discuss. As always, they were very helpful and, maybe I phrased the question wrongly, but I did ask if I could get the visa from London and was told "no".

I will try speaking to the embassy in the next couple of weeks when I need to get it sorted and will report back

Thanks samster..

If you apply, by post, from the Embassy in London then I am confident that you will get a 1 year multi-entry o based on marriage - sadly this bit does apply though.. :(

Similar requirements to previous visas issued at Hull. Looks like I can save on travel costs as well as I previously had to go to Hull (incredibly its the UK city of culture this year!!) in person.

You are welcome & good luck..

One thing, I (going for a multiple entry non o based on retirement last June) sent London a self addressed (& paid :( ) recorded delivery Royal Post envelope.
My passport took about 14 days to get back to me as the Embassy sent it ordinary post as I should have added £xx (about £10, I think) to my Postal Order payment rather than doing that. They included a rather pointed standard letter pointing out my error.. :oops:
I took some comfort in the fact that I was obviously not the first to make this error... :D

I find the Embassy in London atrocious to deal with compared to the consulates in both Hull & Cardiff where the staff were always friendly & helpful
I don't think I have ever had a reply to an email question I've sent to the contact address, the phone NEVER gets answered & if you go in person the staff member always has a face like a spanked ar$e & looks at me like I've fallen off a cornflake packet despite me having all the correct paperwork & trying to be pleasant & friendly
May the bridges I burn light the path in front of me

I wouldn't disagree with anything you say about the Thai Embassy in London, Nigglyb.

However their web site is pretty comprehensive on exactly what evidence you need in order to obtain which visa & the postal option works better for me.
I believe that when the Embassy introduced their postal system (about 4 years ago) they removed the postal option from the Consulates..
