If you are from a visa exempt authorized country you can obtain such an entry at the border.

If you are from a visa exempt authorized country you can obtain such an entry at the border.

thanks lopburi3,

i,m from the u.k so not visa exempt, can i still get a visa on arrival over the bridge in laos valid for 30 days ? or i need to go to thai embassy in vntn. and stop over night ?

thanks for any help ....martyn.

UK is authorized 30 day visa exempt entry to Thailand so you can enter Laos and return for a 30 day stamp. Just remember that you can no longer use more than 90 days on such entry in any six month period. Not an issue for you now.

As the The Man said. UK passport holders ARE Visa exempt for a stay of up to 30 days.

Visa on Arrival is not the same thing as a visa exempt entry. Hence the name Visa on Arrival. It just means that you apply for a visa at the border. UK citizens are not allowed to do this. They are however allowed visa exempt entries. Where you can just show up at the border, and get a permission to stay stamp (not a visa).
