Thanks all, think I will organize flights / hotel & carry the cash & photos for VoA

Always fancied a visit to see the place but never managed so far. Is anyone up to date on current Laos visa rules for a UK passport holder and a Thai passport holder to fly up for a weekend visit? We are both fully vax'd so got that bit covered but I am unsure between getting an e-visa or visa on arrival & pros & cons of each.

Following the instructions on the GOV.UK website I have submitted 4 e-mails in the last month to the [email protected] requesting an appointment but have received no response even to advise that the dates I am requesting are not available. Has there been a change to the process so that the GOV.UK website is not displaying the correct information? Is there a VFS contact number specifically dealing with UK passport renewals as the number I have found seems to only offer options for non UK personnel applying for UK visas?

Dr. Jack, thanks but I will only need one more extension as I will be back in UK for summer to visit family so will arrange a non O from the London embassy while there ubonjoe, thanks for confirming the correct office to submit the application - I will go online to see what appointments are available as I still have validity on my first extension up to 17th May

Thanks for the previous advice on arriving visa exempt for 30 days then obtaining a 30 day extension - having all the required paperwork & copies completed before arrival meant the whole process went smoothly & was actually quite an interesting experience. I now plan to follow the rest of the advice & apply for a 60 day extension to visit my wife but I have a another question. I had a look thru' the immigration website but did not find the answer so can anyone advise is this 60 day extension still classed a short term extension so I apply at the new Laksi Plaza office or do I need to apply at Changwattana?

Thanks Dr. Jack, I have found directions online to the location in Nonthaburi & MTT seem to allow to book an appointment online so will proceed with making arrangements.

I have been getting the documents ready & checking office locations online. As I am in Bangkok can I go to any of the immigration offices at Chaengwattana, Chamchuri Square or Muang Thong Thani? If any of these are allowed are is any better than the others as I found a link to book an appointment at Muang Thong Thani but not the others so far. I am guessing a pre booked appointment would be good but that office appears to be the furthest to travel to.

Thank you Aussiexpat

Thank you for the speedy response Dr. Jack. Could I do the 30 day extension then the 60 day extension to visit wife as I see that Thai authorities looking to class Covid as endemic so I would guess that would mean no Covid extensions

I normally visit my Thai wife using either a 90 day spouse visa or a visa exempt 30 days as a UK passport holder. This visit I entered visa exempt & have 14 days validity remaining but a change in circumstances means that I can now stay longer, potentially until approx. 07th July. Never had to extend an entry previously so would appreciate advice on what my options are & what sort of paperwork I would need to prepare? Thanks
