superatoz Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 anyone can advise if i can go to laos to do a 30 day extension on visa ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 You could get a 30 day visa exempt entry not a extension. But you may have to apply for a visa for Laos at their embassy or the consulate here after today to enter there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 When you enter Thailand you would get a 30 day visa exempt entry if you qualify for one. Extensions can only be applied for at a Thai immigration office The border crossings to Laos are open but you cannot get a Lao visa on arrival. You may be able to apply for a visa at the Lao embassy or consulate here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be unable to get a visa on arrival and be turned away. You must prepare prior, either go to lao embassy in bangkok or do an online evisa which takes 3 business days to obtain (if they are still allowing this option) Edited March 19, 2020 by at15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) OP, sounds like you entered Thailand on visa EXEMPT 30 day. Have you extended that? You can obtain extension at Thai immigration for 1900 baht. No need to exit Thailand. Edited March 19, 2020 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you are in Thailand on a 90-day Non Imm O Visa - and you intend to stay here long-term, you can apply at the local IO of the place where you want to stay for a 1-year extension. The requirements are different for an extension for reason of marriage or one for reason of retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an earlier post you wrote that your Non Imm O Visa expires April 5. Since you just confirmed that it is a Visa based on marriage to a thai national, you can in the last week that it expires, apply at your local IO for a 60-day extension for reason of visiting your wife. Your local IO might require when you apply for the extension that you are compliant with TM-30 regulations (meaning that the property where you are staying has filed a TM-30 form to the local IO stating that a foreigner - you - is staying there). If not, I will provide you with a step-by-step instruction that allows you to register the place where you are staying on the IO TM30 website and subsequently file the TM-30 of you staying there on-line.
