I've only crossed land border once, I think immirgation got confused with my Covid exemptions stamps maybe? How many times can one apply for 60 tourist visa? for example can i continue traveling every 3 months to apply for tourist visa in Lao Vientiane?

many thanks for the info bud, i love this forum ????

Hi, I'm thinking of flying to Lao to apply for 60 day visa. Any ideas which city its best to fly to from chiang Mai, which is the most straight forward route/thai embassy etc? I did land border crossing into Lao last month (visa exemption) thai immigration gave me 30 days but told me i can't do same trip again, i have to fly to Lao next time. Its confusing there seems to be many rules.. many thanks Montana

Many thanks for all the posts. Im thinking of doing the Chiang Khongcrossing now. looks pretty straightforward and cheaper.

forgive my ignorance DrJack, just checking. Im UK yes, so i can head to Saigon and have 14 day stamp automatically?

Thanks for the great info DrJack, ill wait until July 25th and see the state of play. If i head to Saigon would i have to stay there for couple of weeks or can i just stay there for few days and head back to thailand? Also do you know any decent agencies in CM? Thought i would ask just incase. no worries if you dont know. many thanks Montana

Thanks for the reply DrJack, Chiang Mai Immigration told me I can't apply for another Covid extension as they are stopping it and i will have to exit Thailand end of August and come back to thailand. When you say border bounce from CM you mean just exit thailand and head to Vientiane or Saigon for example and then just return? I automatically get 30 days and extend for another 30? all the best Montana

Hi, I came to thailand early april, stayed for 90 days and managed to get a covid extension. I'm looking to do a visa run next month. What are the best visa runs from Chiang Mai? I don't mind flying if its easier, though i read its safer to do a land run as im allowed 2 per year and i havent done a land crossing yet. I guess im asking which is the best/fastest/least hassle country/city to goto to renew. Also is it possible to renew for a 60 days visa like the one i came on from UK, i used the e-visa system. many thanks. glad i found this site, great info here. Montana
