glbv Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I've been in Thailand for about 5 years now and only recently have I seen multiple people being refused tourist visas. In my current passport I have 3 visas Jan 2012, Aug 2012 and Feb 2013. I just came back from the states after a few months there and was planing on doing an ED visa but learned that first I need a visa to get that visa... So my predicament what is the likely hood that I am refused visa at either Laos or Cambodia. All visas are from Laos so far, or if anyone has an idea of the best way to go about this.

maanoi Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Need a visa to get an ED visa?? I think you are incorrect. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 You are in Thailand and need a visa to obtain a visa? You mean you need more time to obtain the paperwork? You can obtain visa exempt entries if just a short period. You can obtain ED visa from any Consulate if you are thinking you much convert a visa or visa exempt entry at immigration (normally much easier at Consulate).

LuckyLew Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 If you need a tourist visa go to Savankhet Laos Can be a bit of a hassle to get there but have never heard of anyone getting denied there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrendsd Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 You will get 30 days on arrival at the Airport, this is enough time for you to choose what school you want to enroll in and get the paperwork required for your ED visa (I would do this within a day or 2 of you arriving here) As soon as the paperwork is complete you will need to visit a neighbouring (sp( country to obtain your ED visa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennyEagle Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 You could also get a new passport, easy in Vientiane if You are from the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) The people who get refused visas tend to be ex-pats who get a string of consecutive tourist visas over a few years without ever returning to their home country, thus appearing to be defacto residents rather than tourists. The fact that you returned to the USA works in your favor and you are unlikely to be declined a visa. Edited July 11, 2013 by dddave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glbv Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Does anyone have a guide on the best way to do a Savankhet Laos run. Is there any plane I can take to cut down on the crazy long bus ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrendsd Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 If you want a ED visa why are you asking for this info? I have already explained what you need to do in my earlier post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check Nok Air for flights to Mukdahan that are a fly/ride service via Sakon Nakhon or Nakhon Phanom. Air Asia flys into Nakhon Phanom which is closest of the two airports to the bridge.
