Why not get the new multi entry tourist visa (METV) before you leave from Finland
Look here for the requirements:

Please note: Double Entry Visas are becoming more and more difficult to get in the Region (Se-Asia)

There are no double or triple entry tourist visas to be had any where in the world. They have been replaced by the METV as shown above. A single entry tourist visa is still available and you should be able to obtain it at Savannahket.
-
It looks that you are right and Double Entry Tourist Visa's are NOT available anymore after the introduction of the METV.
This may cause problems with people who use them to stay long term in Thailand as (what I know) the METV is only available in your Home Country.
Single Entry ones are still available (as you said) but how many back to back No One (GL ??) knows.

A friend who falls just short of the financial requirements was told in Vientiane that the next time he came he would only get 15 days. At the age of 55 and not in the best of health he has decided to go back to Germany and work to save money to get ฿400 000 together plus enough money to get married. Leaving a house and wife behind. I think he'll die over there.

And thats the way it goes. Don't understand the 15 days as being from a G 7 country he is entitled to 30 day visa exempt by land.

Me neither. He does have a passport full of stamps. This kind of thing happens to guys that have no internet, don't speak much English anyway and aren't too bright. I told him to get married and go to Savanakhanet where they don't ask for proof of income to get a three month extension but he is afraid he might get marooned over there. I know another German guy that doesn't believe me when I tell him that he only needs ฿400 000.- as he is married, not the ฿800 000.- that his wife has led him into. I guess his wife is waiting for the inheritance, he is rather old and frail. There must be lots of guys like this which is why I get annoyed when I see 'holier than thou' remarks about guys on overstay. (Not on this site...).

Savannakhet will issue a Non O multi entry visa, based on marriage, with no proof of income. Must do a border run every 90 days. Time it right and you are good for 15 months. After that you can also apply for an extension at immigration. That will be 60 days. So all in all 17 months on one visa.

Can the Visa be collected on the same the application is made ?
What documents are needed ?

Why not tell us what documents you took last time?
Did you need to stay over night?

If asking about a Non-O based on Marriage then the following documents are required (Savannakhet, Laos)
- visa application
- 2 pictures attached to the application

- 1 copy of wife’s ID card, front and back page dated and signed by wife
- 1 copy of wife’s Blue Book (Tabian Ban) dated and signed by wife

You apply morning of Day 1 and pickup early afternoon Day 2.

You also need to take a copy of the Laos visa page in your passport. That can be done in the shop next to the consulate.
Other than that there are no other issues. Been the same for years.
I spoke to the hotelier where we stayed last time I was there. He told me that local businesses had lobbied the Thai consulate to revert back to next day delivery to help the local economy.
I have attached a copy of the application form for members' convenience. By filling the form in at home you should be able to jump a few places in the queue.

According to the fixers aka tuk tuk drivers at the bridge for an extra 300 baht you can have your visa the same day. :biggrin:
-
Just been looking at the visa application form. Who do you use as a guarantor from Laos?

Those forms are generic and are also used by Laotians going to Thailand.
That part can be left blank as can "address in Laos".

For what it's worth, I used the 800 KBaht because it was easier than the extra steps you had to do for the marriage extension. It wasn't anything my wife "led" me into. I know some other guys who make the same choice.
Now that KCI is making retirees have a home visit and second trip to immigration, I may switch. I'll see next year if they've gone back to normal for retirees.
-
From peoples experience ober the past couple of months, are KCI making home visits for all retirement extensions or is it hot and miss (mood on the day)?

I guess, because you are going the child route , you are not married to the child's mother. If so then you will need to legitamise your position as legal father. How old is the child? If under 10 then a court order is required. That takes about a month. 2 visits to the family court and one visit to the regisrats office which is located in the juvenile detention centre are required.
