Visa Run In Chong Mek


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Did anybody recently do a visa run in Chong Mek?

Do you need to go to Pakse?

I have a tourist visa, 30 days, and like to stay for 90 days.

We live in Ubon Ratchathani.

In the past we went to Nongkhai, now Savanaket is closer by, but I was hoping Chong Mek would be possible too.

Thanks

Ive done the border run to Chong Mek many times. You can get a 30 day on arrival there no trouble. you need to have a Lao visa, but can now get one at ChongMek for the usual 30 dollars. The Lao immigration guys like to try and charge another 50 baht each time for the entry stamp also! Ive never heard anything about there being a consulate in Pakse though so if you wanted a 60 day tourist visa then I think you would need to go to Savannakhet. You can do that in one day though if you get the first bus to Mukdahan from Ubon as they issue the tourist visa's on the same day of application at around 3 in the afternoon, which gives you time toget the last boat and then last bus back to Ubon.
