Hey out there!

I am headed to Vientiane for a visa run using the Nok Air Udon Thani flight then land connection service now being offered. I have U.S. passport and have done the Vientiane 2 entry tourist visa run before but I am arriving on a Friday around 1030 am which maybe too late to hit the Embassy until Monday. With 2 days to kill, I am thinking of heading down to Savannakhet and try for a 3 entry tourist visa there as I heard it was possible. 3 entries would make for some more flexibility in my stay here in Thailand but I was wondering if they are issuing them with a 3 month or 6 month enter before stamp? It sounds crazy to offer 3 entries and have to use them in 3 months, but I wouldn't be surprised when it comes to visa stuff.

So with a triple entry I can do 60 + 30 (1,900 baht fro extension), 60 + 30 (another 1900 baht) and another 60 + 30 ( sigh! 1,900 baht) = 3000 for 3 entries + 5700 =8700 baht vs. 2 double entries in Vientiane 2000 baht + 3800 extension baht = 5800 baht total.

Perhaps, it's not worth all the travel expense etc etc to do this the Thais don't offer 6 months to use all three! So does anybody know if they do?

Thanks,

Chinofarang

The Visa from Savannkahet are valid for 3month from the date of issue ONLY!

BTW, while Royal Thai Embassy Vientiane is closed on Wednesday 31th October , the Royal Thai Consulate in Savannakhet will be closed Tuesday 30th n Wednesday 31th October.

Thanks Visarunner. A short, exact answer to a long question! And muchas gracias for the additional info on the holidays.
