Hi guys, just a visa run report. Just got denied my second tourist visa at Vientiane. Have 1 visa in my US passport from December 2018 and 3 exempt stamps. The guy simply said “my boss didn’t give you a visa, have to go back to your country.” Another American was denied in front of me; his Thai girlfriend asked them why and they said there’s a new rule where you can only get one tourist visa per year. 

I’m wondering if that’s really the case because it seems extreme, or if it’s because they also totaled up my 3 visa exempt stamps. 

Either way, just wanted to give people a heads up. Vientiane is no longer an easy consulate.

I suppose thai elite is the only option now, either that or language school.  

 

The above story was an email sent to me from a friend....

Can anyone shed any light on this story.

Thanks!

 

I seems your friend did a topic about it that is now closed.

In my opinion there is more to his story than what he wrote since there have been no similar posts about it on this forum.

No need for another topic about it. This one now
