Type Of Onward Travel Proof For Tourist Visa Application?

[pekkes1978]

My non-imm. visa expires on the 29th of this month. I'm in bangkok at the moment, plan to arrive to Laos on the morning of the 28th at the Thai consulate in Vientiane.

I want to get a tourist visa that allows 60 consecutive days of stay in Thailand, so is this a 2 entry tourist visa?

Also- would a train ticket (instead of the usual air ticket) be accepted as proof of onward travel from thailand?

Not sure what date to set the return ticket for before applying for my tourist visa. should it show me departing Thailand within 30 or 60 days of obtaining the tourist visa?

thanks for any feedback.

A tourist visa is valid for 60 days per entry. It will be free until the 4th of June.

The consulate in Vientiane does not ask to see proof of onward travel.

Please understand I have never made the trip to Vientianne, but reading other posts [type 'Visa Vientianne' in the Search box near the top of the page] it seems that:-

At present you can easily get a Free 60 day, Double Entry, Visa. Each 60 day Visa can be extended for a further 30 days at your local immigration office. In practice you do NOT need to show an Air Ticket for onward travel.

Hope this helps
