nightfox Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I'm down to my last page and a half of my passport and have to do my 90 day Non O visa run in couple weeks. The boarder I use is the Mukdahan, Savannakhet Laos border for a in and out run. Is there any rule, or will I have any issues on using my last passport page for a Lao visa on arrival as I have just enough space for the full page visa sticker page and all the Thai and Lao exit and entry stamps.

JaiLai Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 50/50 i'd say. You'll need Thai out stamp / Laos visa / Laos in stamp / Loas out stamp / Thai in stamp. These Laos and Camoboian stamps that take up an entire page are a pain in the ass, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 It can be done with only one empty page. "1. Your original passport with at least 6 months of remaining validity and a blank page for a visa sticker."

One empty page is is a single page with no stamps, stickers and etc on it. A full page sticker will certainly fit on one. He has said he has room for the departure, entry, departure and entry stamps needed on other pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve187 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 there must be some gaps in the other pages, they seem to stamp anywhere they like 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender92 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Get a Cambodia evisa and go to poipet. It saves a whole page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good idea to use the Poi Pet crossing. There have been many reports of people having problems when getting a new 90 day entry from a multiple entry non-o visa there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecyclist Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Just make sure that when exiting Thailand they don't put that departure stamp on the last blank page, in which case you would be screwed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesetat2013 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I thought that they refused entry into laos if you did not have at least 3 or 4 pages empty in passport? Has that been changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would leaving via poipet with an e-visa and saying you will be out for a few days be ok? Another crossing for getting back could be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignis Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) No idea where you are or Passport you hold ..... Kanchanaburi/Myanmar or Mae Sot/Myanmar - No visa sticker needed for in/out entry for a 90 day new stamp.... Maybe the same at the crossing for Myanmar up north?

MuuKondiao Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 IMHO you MUST go to the embassy now. Tell them and they will issue a new p.p. (if U.S.A.), or add pages in now - before you attempt to cross a border. It ain't worth putting your self at risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he can do the crossing without getting a new passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are married to a Thai or the parent of a Thai you could apply for a 60 day extension to visit them. That would allow you time to get a new passport.

They do have a form they can use when you run out of pages. Although VT didn't have one. I went to Ta Li and they fixed me up.

Generally speaking Thai immigration will put the exit stamp alongside the entry stamp, usually overlapping. Thai and Lao are quite neat and you would get 8 on a page, some other places can be a real pain. I went to Malaysia with just half a page, the Malaysians put in a small sticker that I wasn't aware of which made the passport look full. Coming back into Thailand the IO never batted an eyelid, just flicked through the passport till he found a space that took most of the stamp.
