tommytouch Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 A straightforward question: Do Thai nationals need a visa to Enter Laos (staying there just a few days)? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanyaburi Mac Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 No, they can get a Border Pass at the Thai side for baht 100 or about that. Travel on the Lao side, tho, is restricted to the Vientiane area, if crossing from Nong Khai, and the pass is only good for three days. It can be extended by Lao Immigration.

samran Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 If using a Thai passport they will be stamped in for 30 days. While a border pass can be used for land crossings (or a passport if you have one), a passport is needed if flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And using a Thai passport is faster and easier and cheaper as no time used on the Thai side for processing, and the Lao entry is visa FREE.

Mac Ok, thanks Do you have any idea how much a visa is using an ID card / border pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xangsamhua Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Wife crossed from Nakhon Phanom to Thakhek on Monday. Her Thai friend had her passport, but discovered at Immigration that it had expired a year ago . She was still allowed in though after filling out a form and, I think, getting a new photo. Didn't cost anything for the entry permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
