Can A Thai Travel To Laos With Only An Id Card?

[007]

I'd like to take my girlfriend (Thai) to Vientiane for a few days. My plan is to show her ID card at the border, applying there for a border pass for one(?) day. After returning from Vientiane after 4-5 days, I would pay her overstay fine for the additional days at the Vientiane border post. Possible??

"Yes" to the ID question.

About the overstay--you should research the penalties if caught by Laos authorities before you get back to the border.

get a passport for your GF if you don't want to see her possibly jailed in Laos for overstay.

Depending on the border, you can buy a border pass which is valid for at least 3 days, maybe for a little bit more money, even 5 days. Otherwise, overstaying doesn't seem to be that big a deal in Laos then it is in Thailand.

With the Thai ID buy a Border Pass,valid for 2 nights;go to the Imm. Office in Vientiane and let it extend for a week.The cost is very little and no problems!

LOL - shouldn't that be 'Cheers for the MIS-Information?'

Your GF will not be jailed for overstaying - just a fine for each day (I forget the amount).

Or just do as abdulrahman says and save the hassle and fine.

Border pass for 2 days sounds okay. As for the Immigration office in Vientiane, any idea as for the location??
