Hi,

I am in thailand and would like to stay but I only have the 30 day visa on arrival. I understand you have to go to Laos to get the double entry tourist visa ( the one that gives you 60 days and is then renewable for a total of 6 months).

I have two questions:

1. Do they require a return/departure plane ticket? I do not have one. Has anyone gotten a visa without one?

2. I would like to leave my stuff at my guest house so I don't have to lug my stuff on the trip. However, I am worried about the possibility of not being granted entry back in to Thailand. What are the chances that they do not grant me the tourist visa?

Also, if anyone has any advice on the best way to do the Laos run I would greatly appreciate tips and advice. Feel free to pm me!

Thanks!

1. There should not be any issue getting visa if you do not have a number in passport already.

2. There should not be any request for onward travel.

3. If you did not obtain visa for entry you could still return on a 15 day visa exempt entry. You currently must have a 30 day visa exempt entry due to air arrival (visa on arrival is only allowed for about 15 countries and only for 15 days - paid on entry).
