millerhd Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have been in Thailand for almost 4 months now. Before I came I got the 60 day tourist visa from the Thai consulate in Houston. Once that ran out I made a border run to Laos and then a month later I made another to Myanmar. In two weeks when my current visa exemption expires I am going to go to Cambodia to get my 3rd consecutive visa exemption, which is the last one I am allowed. After that I am planning on staying in Thailand for another 2 months. I assume I should just get another tourist visa for that time. Is it possible to get one from within the country? I am staying in the Northeast so is there somewhere near Korat or Khon Kaen that I can get it. Also, is it possible to just mail in my passport or would I have to go in person? Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 You must leave the country to obtain a tourist visa - why not visit Vientiane in two weeks and obtain a tourist visa then. That will take care of the next two months and then you can visit any immigration to extend for the extra 30 days. One trip that way and you have the option to use another visa exempt entry if required later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yes that is the best option. Also you could have extended your Visa from Houston for 30 days at immigration office in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yes that is the best option. Also you could have extended your Visa from Houston for 30 days at immigration office in Thailand. One should at least be a bit alert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerhd Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yea I know I could have gotten an extension, but I wanted to take the trip to Vientiane anyway. Would it be possible for me to get a tourist visa in Vietnam as I already have plans to go there in March anyway? Thanks for all of the help so far.

lopburi3 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yes a tourist visa should be obtainable in Vietnam. Be sure to have your ticket with you when you apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerhd Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Since I am going to be travelling by land to Vietnam and from Vietnam, what ticket should I bring to get the visa? Should I just buy a bus ticket in advance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 You will have to ask the Consulate. Believe they may require an air ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerhd Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Sorry to continue asking so many questions, but should I just ask the american consulate or should I ask the consulate in Vietnam? Also, where are there Thai consulates in Vietnam? As I don't have any specific travel plans inside Vietnam yet, I will try and shape them around having to get my visa.
