Free Visa Finished Or Not?

[kainy83]

the free tourist visa should have finished last night, anyone know if it has been extended, or are they charging again?

also more to the point if they are charging again, has the attitude at Vientiane changed? ie are they now going to issue x2 entry's even if you have 3 already?

any info is greatly appreciated thanks.

Finished. Fee is 1,000 baht per entry in local currency again. So far no plans have been announced for new tourist visa fee waiver.

And at last report Vientiane now cuts off at two rather than three.

I just called two very well known and totally above board Visa Run Services;

Claudio at Thai Visa Service

Thai Visa Service

AND

Philip at Quick Thai Visa Run

Quick Thai Visa Run

They both said FREE T/Vs are finished!! Its back to 1000baht per single entry.

Now not being particularly curious I didnt ask about how many back to backs a tourist can get or how many entries they could get at a time.

However in an effort to be a kinder-gentler tod-daniels; you might notice I did provide the web links to them, so "enquiring minds" can find out for themselves, should they feel so inclined.

BTW: BOTH of those companies have packages where you can go to either Lao or Cambodia depending on your needs and how many tourist visas you have from a particular location.

FWIW: I didnt waste the time calling Jacks Golf, but heres their link too;

Jack's Golf Visa Run

Good Luck

As an aside; I am NOT affiliated with ANY of the companies I provided info for. .
