fester Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Can a Thai citizen without passport enter Laos on a day trip by showing Thai ID card and get a day pass similar as at Malaysian border? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETER THE EATER Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Helleo Fester, Yes, my wife got one at the Nong Kai amphur office last year for a day trip over the bridge. Dozens of other Thais doing the same. regards, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fester Posted March 9, 2003 Author Share Posted March 9, 2003 Did she get the day pass from the Thai Amphur district office, huh? Sure? You mean that she got it from the Immigration at the bridge?? Please expand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETER THE EATER Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Whoops, it was the Provincial Office Building , the enormous one just on the W side of town. Definitely not the bridge office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fester Posted March 11, 2003 Author Share Posted March 11, 2003 Whoops, it was the Provincial Office Building , the enormous one just on the W side of town. Definitely not the bridge office. How long queueing, waiting was that? A quick stamp or several hours waiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETER THE EATER Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 There were a lot of Thais, around 60 odd getting day passes. There is a form to fill in, but for the 6 Thai in our group it took around 30 minutes. Me, I got a visa previously from the Laos Consul in Khon Kaen, took around 30 minutes ,no problems. Then found I could have got one at the bridge. Can't comment on the other borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alykev8892 Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 When I make a Vientiane visa run with my Thai girl friend, we take a tuk tuk from the bus station to a travel agency near the immigration checkpoint where she gets her border pass using her ID card. I get my Laos visa on arrival at Laos immigration on the other side of the river. Very easy and no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 What about the other 3 borders Cambodia,Malaysia and Burma..any idea? I was up at Three Pagoda Pass with a Thai friend in April. They can definately cross into Burma there with only their ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiChai Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 And Mair Sot to Burma too. I think it costs the Thais 20 baht for the day pass and they can get them just by the immigration check point. Its up a soi on the right as you head towards the bridge to cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 "fester": you might want to make sure that the id card rule applies to all cards or if just to those issued in the border region; as was the case many, many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keestha Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 When I crossed into Laos from Nongkai in 1999, Thais with an id card issued no matter where in Thailand could go to Laos for maximally 3 days, after having obtained the border pass at the Provincial Administrative Office in Nongkai. I was told the 3 days permit could easily be extended once in Vientiane. At the time Europeans and so on could get a Laotian 14 days visa at the border.
