I have a single entry O visa and want to visit Laos for a couple of days as a tourist with my Thai wife

Can you tell me please what are the restrictions for returning to Thai?

Thanks in advance.

For single entry or extension you would need a re-entry permit prior to travel to return for the remainder of current permitted stay. If not you would only get a 15 visa exempt entry (if that is what your nationality gets).

You need to visit your local Immigration office and obtain a re-entry permit (1000bht).

Without the re-entry permit you will only receive a 15 day visa exempt entry to Thailand on your return from Laos

Wow, that was a quick response..thanks.

I have a single entry 90 day visa which i will extend to a 12 month visa based on marriage sometime during July.

So it looks like i will need to get a re-entry permit. is that something I can get at the local immigration office in khon Kaen and if so, do you know the cost?

thanks again

Thanks all who replied ..i have the answers I need.

Many many thanks.

Khon Kaen will issue for 1,000 Baht

Don't forget the passport size photo.

Friend of mine done that 2 weeks ago and said it took 12 minutes.
