goofie Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I have been wandering through many forums, but I don’t have an up to date answer. I am Australian. If I enter by air through BKK I get a 30 day visa exception, how long can I extend that out for if I go to a domestic immigration office and pay the 1900bht? What if I cross via land, 15days and how long can that be extended for? Can I still get a double entry 60day (extended by 30 for 1900bht) tourist visa from Vientiane these days? I am not looking being there a real long time, but I do wish to explore, hang out, and it would be nice to rent a room for 6 months so I have a base in Bangkok to keep my stuff ‘safe’. 6 months is what I am kind of thinking, and I want to visit Laos when I go to northern Thailand.

Mario2008 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Best option is to go to vientiane and get the double entry tourist visa. Visa exempt entries can only be extended by 7 days, for which you have to show proof of onward travel within those 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 For visa exempt entries you can only get a 7 day extension it does not matter if was by land or air. Yes you can still get 2 entry tourist visas in Vientiane that can be extended fpr 30 days. You could get your tourist visa before leaving Australia. You can get a 3 entry there that would give you almost 9 months without getting a new vsia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Agree with Joe, misread you were already in BKK. get a 3x tourist visa from Australia, this will save you possible troubles with the airline also, as without a visa you would need to have proof of onward travel within 30 days. Some airlines will refuse you without that or a visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
