lopburi3 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Don't understand what you have as you say a two entry tourist visa but seem to be planning on two exits for two stays - how did you enter Thailand without already using the first entry? 1. Was your two entry tourist visa issued with a 6 month or 3 month validity (use before date)? 2. What date was visa issued? 3. What date did you enter Thailand (if in Thailand). When will you first enter if not? 4. Tourist visa entry for most nationalities is 60 days but you can extend for 30 days - as you mention six months you appear to know that but do not mention it in your planning.

lopburi3 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 OK. So you want to visit Immigration the first week of May and fill out a TM.7 for a 30 day extension of stay. Will need 4x6cm photo and 1,900 baht. The 30 days will start from your current permitted to stay until date (you lose nothing doing it early). In June you cross border, enter other country and return to use your second entry and do the same. Will cover six months. Currently Vientiane is one of few places in local area that will issue a 2 entry visa but it will only be valid for 90 days from date of issue so will be a little tighter (you may have to leave a day or two early to make second entry on time). You should check back before you need the new visa as things can change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blobman Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 my son just got a double entry tourist visa in Vientiane free Me too! Just returned from there last week with a double entry tourist visa which is good til end of Sep (although I know I'll need a couple of extensions and a border hop in between). That left me with a couple of extra grand for beerlao and pu sao lao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blobman Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Let me get it right...I checked in my passport again,and the last time I was in Vientien got only a single entry visa,valid for 60 days only.Have they changed their visa policy since then?What is the double entry means -is it 90 days for each entry (180 days all together?).Thanks. You probably got a single entry because that is all you asked for. A double entry means 2 entries of 60 days each. Each entry can be extended at Immigration for a further 30 days. Giving a total of almost 6 months. Litebeer, I prefer your definition of a double entry tourist visa to lopburi3's (above your reply). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Am not sure what the "friendship" refers to but normal border crossing at the Nong Khai bridge to Laos is open on Sunday. I was not aware of any authorized crossing at Vientiane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamishgillan Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) so, what do you do when your first 60(90) days runs out, how or where do you you activate the second entry, plus would the second entry have its own validity period? i have done the single entry run to vientiane a couple of times and its quite easy but i have never applied for a double entry, maybe i'll try it now,.....

lopburi3 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 You cross a border and return for second entry - you must do this before the visa expires (90 days from day of issue if from Vientiane). Second entry will be the same as the first and can be extended 30 days the same as the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erezsp Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Does it goes for Savanaket as well,or this option of double entry is uniquely available in Vientien only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Panic Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 when applying for the tourist visa in Lao do you need to show an air ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokgas Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 No, no need to show air tickets. They seem to decide on the issuance of the visa in the application process anyway and never, in the many times I have stuck in that interminable line have I seen anybody been asked for tickets/funds. I worried, take one with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim's_a_Thai_Fox Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 hi, I write this bleary eyed as I have just arrived back in Lampang on the overnight bus from Udon as I have just got a double entry tourist visa from Vientiane. Going to the Thai Embassy in Vientiene was pretty busy on that MOnday morning, but you at least get a ticket and queue. Some people like to get there an hour before the embassy opens at 8.30am so they can be first in line....but they seem to neglect the obvious point that you still have to be there at 7.30am waiting around outside whilst the rest of us are still sleeping off hangovers... OK, so once inside you wait maybe an extra half an hour, but you then have the rest of the day in Vientiene anyway!!! Each to their own. When you collect you passport the next day, you also get a ticket and have to wait.... this can be a a bit of a pain should you wish to leave the city that day and head back into Thailand... but again, the wait was no more than an hour. All very straightforward - you get a 30 day Laos visa at the friendship bridge, pay 20 bhat for the bridge crossing, then a about 200-300 bhat to get to Vientiene.... all very easy. Your 60 days start the moment you come back into thailand, and depending on your circumstances, you can extend another 30 days at thai immigration office, or leave the country (overland or plane) within the 60 days and have your next 60 day start upon your second arrival (which could be minutes or days after leaving...) It's all very easy and there are lots of people in the same boat you can ask about stuff. Go there, take you time, enjoy the Lao beer and enjoy the experience...

erezsp Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Does anyone knows what's the deal in Phnom Pen? What is the max I can get there?(one or double entry,and if only one- for how long?)

tropo Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 PP gives single entry, Vientianne gives double entry. Vientiane were happy to give 3 entries and more too for 1000 baht per entry on a 90 day tourist visa. Has anyone tried to score 3 or more entries for free?

gonzobrains Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 my son just got a double entry tourist visa in Vientiane free dude, is vientiane the only laos location giving double entry? i was disappointed when i only received single entry in suvannakhet!

ubonjoe Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Suvannakhet has never given 2 entry visas. And if you go back for another one you may not get it. Suvannakhet is not a reccomended consulate for any visa unless you live near the bridge. There are only 2 consulates in Laos so you don't have any other choice.
