The most you would get is a 7 day extension, if they give it. Best option is to just go to the border.

7 days. 1,900 Baht.

Another option is to go to the border early (before your family visit)..

A related inquiry:

I have Non-Imm O (Marriage) 12 month Multi-entry, with first 90 day concluding on 26 October 2008. I must travel to Vientiane to start a job on 2 November. I live near Buri Ram and plan to drive to Nong Khai to cross into Lao. I would like to apply for a 7 day visa extension to cover the period 27 October to 2 November. For convenience, I would like to apply for the visa extension at Kob Cheong Immigration Office (near Surin, border to Cambodia), as it is the closest immigration office.

I have a contract (in English, electronic Word file, scanned signatures) for my work in Lao, which specifies a start "on about 2 November". Since I will be driving to Nong Khai, I have no flight ticket or other documentation of intention to travel.

I read on the Forum that 7 day extensions are at the discretion of the immigration officer. What documentation should I present to support my visa extension application.

Thanks!

Why do an extension.

You have a multi entry visa the Camodia border is not much further than Kob Cheong.

If you get the visa it will cost 1900 baht. If I recall correctly its less than that for a Cambodia visa.

You can make as many entries as you want with your visa.

Edit: Take a look at the Isaan forum under Thailand Local Forums. Lots of info there on this border run.

You are right: I should have done my sums first.

Visa extension = 1900 Baht; Cambodian visa = 1100 + 300 Baht for no stay (plus 50 Baht say to reduce the pressure from touts).

Thanks.

Sounds like you have done it before.

It could be a case of not being able to see the forrest for the trees when you have a problem and are thinking about it.

Maybe I just cut down a few of the trees.
