Visa To Laos / Lesser Than 3 Month In Pass

[KronbergTH]

Hi,

I suddenly realizing that I have a smaller problem.

I have visa/work-permit in Thailand and has ordered a new passport at my embassy as it is expiring first in July, but that will not be finished before a month or the like.

Now I am going to Laos during songkran with my Lao girlfriend (by land, i.e. bus to Vientiane en then deeper into Laos).

And then I suddenly remember that I need at least 6 months in my passport to enter/get visa to Laos, and most other Asian countries...

One opportunity is to request my embassy to extend my passport, which they do not like, another opportunity is to take the change and see what happen at the border.

Does anybody has any such experiences?

Thanks, Robert

No experience but would guess that either you wouldn't be allowed to leave Thailand as you wouldn't be allowed into Laos OR if you were allowed out you would not be allowed back in.
