i am traveling on a non immigrant 'o' visa that allows only 1 entry valid for 90 days, i will probably be returning when my 90 days are up however if i want to extend after my 90 days are up for another 90 days can this be arranged with a visa run company? or will i just be able to get the usual 15 / 30 day tourist visa?

You can not extend more than 7 days. You can obtain a tourist visa from a Consulate or use the 15/30 day visa exempt entry.

On what basis are you getting the non-o visa. There might be other options if you tell us that.

i have go the non-o visa with 1 entry valid for 90 days for purpose of extended stay / visiting friends..

No other options than getting a tourist visa. I was hoping it was for something other than visiting friends. The nearest place you can get another one of those is Perth Australia.

You can get a 2 entry tourist visa in Vientiane Laos for free. With this visa you will get 2 entries of 60 days that can be extended 30 days giving a total stay of about six months.

Why not apply for a multiple entry 'O' visa or a double entry tourist visa?

Then you will have no problem if you wish to stay longer than 90 days.

i had already applied for my single entry 90 day visa, just needed the info for if i do decide to stay longer but will probably be returning when my 90 days are up, knowing i can get a 2 entry tourist visa in laos if i do want to stay is good news..
