going to laos to get a tourist visa

before i used one of those travel places around the just before the border crossing where they fill out the laos immigration card and the re-entry slip for

thailand for you now i am going directly to the border crossing and not bothering with them so a couple of questions

where do i get the re-entry slip from on the way back for thailand and

although they filled out the immigration card for laos i still needed the official form from laos immigration, was the one they did for me unnecessary

thanks

You will get an arrival card when you get back to the Thai border - you could probably pick one up on the way out if you want.

No need for agents in Laos, just go to the visa place and ask for a form. Takes a couple of minutes to fill out (they have tables and chairs to do this), then hand back with your fee and wait about 15 mins - very easy. Pay in dollars if it's easy for you to get some.

thanks
