You can fly to Savannakhet from Bangkok (bkk) on Lao Airways. But you will need to stay 3 nights due to the flight schedules.

No difference between flying in or by land paperwork wise.

You could use a fly/ride service to Mukdahan that Air Asia and Nok Air offer from DMK. Then cross the bridge to Savannakhet.

No problem to get a new visa shortly before your current one expires.

Best though to get one more 90 day entry from it before it expires and then a 60 day extension to visit your wife. That would delay needing a new visa for almost 5 months.

Thanks Joe.........You mean I could go to Sai Mai on the 27th and get another 3 months from it?

Hello all,

My multi-entry marriage visa is due for renewal and I just wondered if it is easy and simple to fly into savannakhet from Bangkok to renew my visa? Or should I use the bus over the friendship bridge as I did last year? 

Does it make any difference? Such as additional paperwork if flying?

I'd rather fly from BKK to save time than use the bus, but I'd like to hear from anyone who's flown in or done this recently.

Final question if I may. My visa expires on the 28th of May. Is it ok to Renew on the 23rd?

Thanks for any help and advice regarding this! Sorry if it seems obvious for some, but I don't want to hit any hurdles. 

Regards

Craigp 

Thanks Joe, do you know what time they stop doing the stamp crossings? Yes, your right about the 90 day non o

Hi all, I'm new to Bangkok and I need to do my 3 month stamp today or tomorrow. Something vital came up and I can't leave BKK until about 3pm. Would I be better off flying to Chiang rai later and going to the mea sai boarder today or tomorrow or get a bus / taxi to a Cambodian boarder? I know its a stupid question but please suggest my best option guys. My non O visa is stamped to the 4/9

Thanks all.

You could get a multiple entry non o from Savhenerket (forgive the spelling) giving you up to 15 months before you do the divorce.

Brixit?  Check your calender.

Prime Minister Theresa May triggered Article 50 shortly before 12:30pm on March 29 2017.

Hi, please offer any info on this please......

I've been told it's possible, but is it? If it is possible ...how? 

I have been considering a move from Thailand to Cambodia for some time. However, I have 2 things I don't want to part with. My bike and my dog. I have time on my side so hopefully, some of you wonderful people can point me in the right direction. 

Is it possible to register a Thai bike in Cambodia? Are there any good companies that can help with this and moving to Cambo? 

Please help me with some decent advice.....

Thank you. :-) 

Hi TV,

Please can somebody tell me what marriage certificate(s) needs to be taken to savannakhet  for this visa?

Some people are telling me 1, some say 2. (It it kor 1 and kor 2?)

The reason for asking is because we lost one of ours (The pretty one with the flowery boarder) so only have one left. We reported it lost at the police station and got a slip of some sort from the police.

So, will I be able to get this visa with only 1 of the flowery bordered certificates???

I'd really appreciate the answer as I don't want to go if I can't get the visa.

Thanks!!

But................?

that's interesting ...... Even for a motorbike is it $1500? 

What about other possessions? 

If going in over land from mae sai? 

Basically, I want an easier place to live than Thailand and I don't want to lose my possessions. I am already in the north of Thailand... 

Thanks for all your info,

there's some great comments and I sincerely appreciate it. 

I'm hoping to find out a little more if I can....

When I said 'best place to stay' in my original post, I just meant for practicality, by living near one of the Embassies that's easily reachable by land crossings, so the visa runs require little time and travel. So, just a convenient, normal town that has everything anyone would need. No need to consider cities or beaches, just a typical modest town that makes visa runs simple. However, it could be that staying near an international airport could be better option then, as to fly to different countries / Embassies?  

From my understanding, people wanting to stay longer term on tourist visas 'should' only apply 2 or 3 times from that same Embassy and then apply from another Embassy.....

Is this true? What's the benefit of it? So, it's better to go to a different Embassy each time, from those countries mentioned above; opposed to applying from the same Embassy, near a land boarder right? Then I have to ask myself why that makes the visa more likely to be approved. 

Also, how long would one need to be out the country to apply for another tourist visa?

Would a length of stay in my home country make obtaining future tourist visas easier? If so, is there any rule to the length of time one would stay out? 

I know I've asked a lot it but any added info would be great.

Thanks again. 

Hello TV.

My nationality - UK. Age 36. 

Please could some wonderful TV members help me answer these questions. . .

For someone with no other visa options other than tourist visas, who wanted to stay in Thailand long term, (Or as long as they could using tourist visas) where would be the best place(s) in Thailand for them to live,  considering convenience of the visas and ease of travel for visa runs? (Including anything else that maybe appropriate to consider) 

Then, what is the maximum amount of tourist visas permitted? (Assuming there is a limit.) 

Many thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions offered. 

Slightly off topic and and old thread, but can a Thai vehicle be taken into Burma by any chance?

Hi TV.

I have a bit of a problem. I applied for my UK passport at Trendy in Bangkok. Now I have a health problem and can't go to collect it . (It's ready and waiting) Can any companies collect it and post it to me?

I can't wait much longer because of my extension.

Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks in advance.

if the OP has a lot of stuff which he can not / does not want to bring to Cambo immediately, he should consider to rent a storage unit. No idea where he is located (he didn't mention that?), but there are great options such as ustoreitpattaya , Western-style managed by a born Thai who was raised in the US and is a US citizen, a very nice and helpful lad. reasonable units start at a mere 1.400 Baht a month and the place is clean and secure (went there once to have a look even though eventually I did not make use of their service yet)

Good tip.

Chiang Rai is my current humble home.

I actually quite like it. Decent people, good prices and some amazing places.

Our little Nid Noi needs a new loving home!

This very intelligent little dog was rescued by myself in very poor condition as a puppy. She was an abandoned puppy.

She's playful, trained, love fetch, loves attention, good with dogs, not good with cats.

She's just simply an amazing pet. I will only let her go to a good suitable home.

Anyone is welcome to come and meet her. She's an amazing character and will really make somebody very happy.

Very loyal and loving. Re-homing because I have to leave the country and my wife can't handle 3.

If I can't find a suitable home, I will try and take to Cambodia with me.

Honestly, she's a special dog.

please pm me if you're genuinely interested

thank you

I'm in Chiang Rai, so it's quite a trip to do myself.

I am wondering if I can rent a truck and take it in to Cambodia. Doubtful !!

Hello all, if I moved from Thailand to Cambodia with all my possessions across land, would I expect to pay a heavy income tax bill?

Anyone have experience with this?

Furthermore, can anyone recommend any companies who can move my things?

Thanks

I don't know how many of my things I can take to Cambodia.

Should I take as little as possible?

Or can I rent a truck and driver and take a lot of things?

Will I be taxed heavily if I do that?

Are there moving companies that can do this for me?

For taking the dog overland, proof of vaccination is enough. To take by plane is more complicated and requires paperwork from the airport aniamal quarantine station.

You should go overland when you bring the dog and that is also easier for bringing a lot of stuff. Yes, you should go first without the dog to find a place to live. Bring maybe 2-3suitcases with you to leave there, then once you've rented a place come back for the dog and rest of your stuff.

Phnom Penh is a lot more expensive than rest of the country. If you don't require a large expat scene, consider Battambang city -- low rents and just 2 hours from Thailand so easy to go for a few days shopping or whatever. Laid back place but does have small expat community and plenty of shops, restaurants etc.

Internet is not a problem anywhere.

Thanks Sheryl. I've read that taking things by land. (Computers etc) will cost a huge import Tax bill. Is it true? Do I have to pay any bribe money to get across?
