hello everyone, i just thought i would share this with you guys in case you know of anyone needing a visa without the funds in their bank account.
I went to Savannakhet last week (14/08/14) and got a Non B marriage visa without the 400 000 baht in my bank. I sat down outside the consulate with a lady agent who went through my paperwork and told me a did not need the original documents, she glued my fotos to a form filled it all in and after paying her 60 baht i was through the gates to the consulate to hand my papers in.
At a little after 3pm i went back and received my lovely new visa.
So easy and painless and i had been sweating so much about this bloody visa for months beforehand !
Hope this helps someone and please feel free to ask away for any further info regarding my trip from Chiang Mai to Savannakhet.
Cheers guys
Kevin
