cubism001 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Thought I'd better ask if the Lao border from Udon Thani is open. I need a 30 day visa stamp in my US passport. This is the first stamp I've had this trip. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJack54 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) No problem. You can get minivan from airport to Nong Khai or taxi to central plaza and minivan from there. Edited December 1, 2023 by DrJack54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrilled Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 You must not know Thailand very well. If you look at a map you will see there is no border of any kind at Udon Thani. The nearest border is at NongKhai about 35-40 miles away. Have not heard of the border being closed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you already use the 30 day extension at the local immigration office,? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbi1 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Dude must be on the good stuff if he's seeing a border at Udon Thani. There is an international airport there, but no border to cross. Friendship Birdge No.1 is at Nong Khai, which is an hour's car ride away from the airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why doesnt he just pay 1900 baht? He wants visa exemption. Doesnt need to border run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he wants to apply for the non-O in-country instead of going to a nearby consulate. When doing that you need a couple of weeks left on your permission to stay because there is an under consideration period. In the post you attached, the OP has stated that he arrived visa exempt and has extended once already. Presumably he's close to the end of his 30-day extension so he'll need to do a border bounce to get another 30 days, which will give him sufficient time to apply for the non-O using form TM.86 or TM 87. I forget which, will look it up later. He doesn't say where he'll be applying but if on the off chance it is Jomtien then the OP should be aware that that office requires funds to have come from abroad AND to have been seasoned for two months on prior to the date of application. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Go Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, other days can be busy. You will need to get a visa for Laos, approx. USD 40 (depending on the passport country) in crisp new USD bank notes - or live with the exorbitantly bad exchange rate to Thai Baht - that's what I hear.

KhunBENQ Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Might be a VIP shuttle back to Hanoi for the "National Assembly Chairman" after official visit to Thailand. Makes sense with the flight number.

KhunBENQ Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Maybe similar to Khon Kaen. Also labelled as international. At the old building it had two desks for immigration and one luggage belt was fenced off in case there was an international flight. In the past there were some flights to China. Don't know whether something is prepared at the new terminal Edited December 11, 2023 by KhunBENQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
