Is There A Limit On The Number Of Double Entry Tourist Visas You Can Get?

[countrymanto]

Please help

I will be doing a visa run to Laos in a few weeks to get a double entry tourist visa. And I have been told that The Thai Embassy might limit me to getting a single entry because I've had several double entry tourist visas already.

Is this true?

Thanks for your help.

The embassy in Vientiane will issue up to 3 back to back 2 entry tourist visas issued by them.

There was a report that people from certain countries can no longer get 2 entry visas there.

Where are your previous visas from?

I am American. I went to Cambodia the last visa run I did about 6 months ago.

You should have no problem getting a visa in Vientiane.

I suspect your last visa was not a double entry visa because of where you got it.

What I've done with the Tourist Visas the last year or two is to go to Laos and get a double entry tourist visa...which is good for 3 months, then go to immigration and get an extension for 1 month...then go to Cambodia and get a tourist visa which is good for 2 months...altogether this covers 6 months.

Please let me thank you for your help Mr Titanium....I really appreciate it. I am only going to be here in Thailand for about 6 months before I go back to the states. So this would be a real problem for me because a single entry tourist visa would only give me 3 months.
