Visa Run Laos

Featured Replies

Come to Thailand for 4 month stay came on marriage visa 1 year so am looking at going to Laos for a couple of days when I come back into Thailand do I get my next 90 days

In other words is Laos a good visa run oh should have said my 90 days run out on the 8th feb not due to go back home till 27th feb so don't want the over stay fine

You have a multi entry non immigrant O visa from a Thai Consulate or a one year extension of stay from immigration?

If the visa any new entry gets a new 90 day stay during validity of the visa so Laos for a minute or more will be fine.

where do you live in thailand ? you can goto :

laos 35$ to enter,

cambodia 20-25$ to enter,

burma 10$ or 500 baht to enter,

malaysia free to enter.

either do a land crossing or flying in, just remember to write your visa number on the arrival card and make sure you get a 90 day stamp .

as mentioned you can leave thailand for several days or just 5 mins upto you.

you may also want to look into your future border runs and work out what days they fall on,

what are you going to do when the year runs out ? extend ?

i think you can get 15 months from a 1 year visa if you do another border run just before it expires but if your going to extend in the future and stay in thailand long term you need to find out the best way to do it.

ok no worries i didn't read your post fully, depending where you live you only need to leave thailand the once and you have flexability on which date you choose.

ankor wat is a popular place to visit to combine a mini visit or just find the most convenient to where you live.

you don't have to do it around the 8th feb you could do it 90 days before your return flight if you wanted.

Been going across the Friendship bridge in Nong Khai for years. I go into Laos, turn around and come back. Never had a problem. Start to finish, usually 60-90 minutes.

I also check to make sure they give me a 90 days stamp, and not a 15 or 30 day one by mistake.
