Visarun For Getting 3 Months Visa

[satyrion]

Hi am going for a visarun in end of this month, i come from Norway and i dont got any visas for staying in thailand, so i coud only stay 1 month. I heard from a guy here that he goes to laos and gets 3 month visa there, but he gotta stay in laos for around 14 days. Anyone know more about this?

Am not sure if i should go to laos or cambodia. I been in cambodia 2 times before but i only get 30 days. Can i get more in Laos? 60 or even 90 days?

I know so many guys around here that dont work and stay in thailand over 3 months, but i cant ask them how, cuz their english is quite bad.

Last time i was in Thailand i was here 3 months and after that i had to stay in Norway 3 months. Is there a way i can stay here longer when i dont got a real job here yet?

You can obtain a tourist visa in Vientiane or Savannakhet, Laos that would provide you a 60 day stay that could be extended for another 30 days. This would require overnight stay or about 28 hours - there would not be any need for 14 days. Cambodia is a very poor choice for a tourist visa and you can only obtain 30 days by crossing the border and return and with that kind of entry you are limited to 90 day in any six month period.

Thank you very much for a good reply. After these 4 months are finnished i gotta go back to Norway 2 months before i can go back to Thailand again?

Is it no other way around?

As long as you can find a Consulate to issue you another visa you never have to go anywhere other than there to get the visa. The only limit on stay is the 90 days in six months and that only applies to days that you are here without a visa (on 30 day stays).

okay thank you, so would those places give me a stay over 4 months?

Do i need more documents then i need for the 30 day visa u get in cambodia?

(if so what documents do i need)

will i be able to stay in Thailand over many years by doin visaruns like this?

30 days = entry without visa = new rule not more than 90 such days in a six month period.

60 days = tourist visa = obtained from Consulate = 60 day stay with 30 day extension from immigration possible. No set limit.

There is no visa that allows a four month stay. But you can return to obtain a new visa until they say don't come back again.

People have stayed in Thailand for many years - but there is no guarantee that new requirements - as in the new 30 days in six month rule - will not appear at any time.

where can i take the bus to laos?

how much it cost for a 2 way ticket?

and how much time does it take?

Other than the fact you are not in Norway I really don't know where you are or where in Laos you want to go.

From Bangkok there is bus service to Udorn or Nong Khai to visit Embassy in Vientiane from Morchitt II (North Bus Station) and suspect the one way price would be about 1,000 baht (have never seen round trip tickets myself). You could also get bus to Mukdahan I suspect to visit Consulate in Savannkahet.

There is also train service to Nong Khai.

Expect trip would be 10-12 hours each way

so an exampel to stay in bkk for a longtime would be- visa on arival from norway 30 days-go to laos to get 60 days visa-go thaI immigration to get another 30 days-go to penang or HKfor 30 days-and do this again after those 30 days finnish and keep goin to diffrent countrys. Would this work, anyone tried something like this aftter the new visarules? am 19 years old btw

[deejah]

i see Vientiane is much closer than pinang on the map
