Savanvegas Visa Package

[bobroper]

For those that are interested, the following is the breakdown together with details of the Savanvegas visa run package.

For the last few years I have had a multiple non-immigrant O visa (married to a Thai) and have now changed to an ED visa.

Bangkok (Don Muang) to Nakhon Pathom flying with AirAsia return...........2,419

Hotel transport from Nakhon Pathom to Savanvegas hotel round trip.........2,000

Three nights hotel accommodation..............................................................3,400

Laos visa......................................................................................................1,030 (US $35)

ED visa.........................................................................................................2,000

Total..........................................................................................................B10,849

On arrival at Nakhon Pathom the hotel minibus was already waiting for us. The trip to Savannakhet was approx 90 minutes arriving at the hotel at 1500 hrs. The border crossing into Laos couldn't have been any easier.

On arrival at the hotel I completed and signed the relevant visa application form together with original passport, copy and photo(s) and in my case the necessary school documents (Ministry of Education) to obtain an ED visa. I also paid to reception B1,000 security deposit which was returned to me on my departure.

The hotel provides you with a voucher for a free 60 minute massage together with a B500 match play voucher. The only drawback with the match play voucher is that you have to add a further B500 cash in order to play. The massage was excellent.

I could find no fault with the hotel accommodation having all the necessary furnishings in their spacious rooms.

All meals (three daily) are free and you will never go hungry.

Fast internet in all rooms,

On the second day at approx 1500 hrs, I collected my passport from the hotel office which included my 90 day ED visa.

From now on all 90 day extensions will be applied for at the relevant immigration dept. In my case at Chaeng Wattana.

I was accompanied on this trip so therefore double the airfare.

The one and only drawback is that you are more or less confined to the hotel as there are no shops/entertainment/sightseeing immediately outside the hotel complex. There are tuktuks available at a fixed charge of B300 to the local market, duty free shop (very cheap for liquor/cigs, etc), sightseeing, etc, although you can barter which I did and reduced the price to B200.

Any further information you require in respect of the Sevenvegas visa package trip, please do not hesitate to ask.

Hello, so you don't have to go in person to the embassy? Sounds interesting.

Correct, there is no need to attend the embassy, i.e. Present your passport and docs on arrival at the hotel, collect either the next day or the day after at approx 1500 from the hotel office. Obviously timing depends on when you actually check in. If you check in the hotel in the morning you will receive you passport duly stamped with the appropriate visa the following day. One night's accommodation B1,999.
