brotherother Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Would be grateful if someone can confirm, am I right in thinking you need to submit just the one photo when applying for a Laos visa on arrival at land border crossings? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanyaburi Mac Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 One (1), I was just up to Vientiane last week via the Friendship Bridge at Nong Khai-Thannaleng. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brotherother Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 One (1), I was just up to Vientiane last week via the Friendship Bridge at Nong Khai-Thannaleng. Mac That's good. It'll probably be the Mukdahan / Savannakhet crossing though, but I'm guessing they'll have the same policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanyaburi Mac Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 FYI, I just carry several photos of different sizes clipped in the back of my passport, at least that way no worry to forget to take some. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaigirllondon Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 In Nong Khai sometimes one and sometime two. Better you take a 6 set (as most issue in Thailand are 6 sets) and carry them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueScouse Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I was at Chong Mek/Vang Tau last week and just handed over one photo. An American friend didn't hand any photos in, and wasn't asked for one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Can anyone tell me if the Thai embassy in Ventaine issue extensions of non emigrant multiple entry O visas based on marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescollister Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Do the Chong Nek border run every 3 months, one photo if just a turn around 2 if staying in Lao. Have forgotten the photo once, no problem as I was just doing the visa run. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanyaburi Mac Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 For Possum1931 Posted Today, 16:38 Can anyone tell me if the Thai embassy in Ventaine issue extensions of non emigrant multiple entry O visas based on marriage. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxV Visa "extensions" for marriage or retirement are done at a Thai Immigration office in Thailand, not at their Embassy in Vientiane. Or, are you perhaps asking about obtaining another Non-O visa there in Vientiane?? Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orang37 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Khun Cardholder, and others, Sawasdee Khrup, fyi: last time, November, 2011, I made the crossing from Nongkhai into Laos, I used the Laos form I had downloaded, which I had already prepared: I was told by the Immigration intake-person on the Laos side of the bridge, that she would accept my form "this time," but she said they would not accept that form in the future. And they had a different looking, smaller form they were passing out. I have the form I downloaded last year, and compared it to the one you linked to: they are the exact same size, created with the same version of Acrobat, and, visually, appear to be the same. Hopefully we'll hear on this forum from someone who may have recently used that downloadable form, and what their experience was: meanwhile: you might not want to glue the picture on the downloadable form until you are sure you can use it. best, ~o:37; Edited May 20, 2012 by orang37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perconrad Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I read in the "Visa on arrival" that the elderly aged over 65 can enter Laos visa free. Have anyone over 65 tried this and did not pay the visa fee? and did you have to fill out the visa-form? I am from Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanyaburi Mac Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Perconrad FYI, I've got that 65 year mark beat by a few years, and I paid my $35 on 8 May at Thannaleng for my Lao VOA. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfin Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I just came over the Friendship Bridge today. One passport sized photo needed, and the cost was 1,300 baht for an Australian for a 30 day visa. I will return on Tuesday, after getting a non-imi O single entry visa, and promise to send a report to update everyone on my Vientienne experience. So far so good, and I am enjoying my first ever Beer Lao! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
