Visas for Thai/europeans to Laos and Vietnam

[laolover88]

Sure I, european, need visas to go to Laos and Vietnam. As I understand it I need entry visa to Laos, and return

visa, too, if I am coming back to Thailand via Laos. Seems to be no 'transit' or multiple entry visa on offer.

Vietnam more simple. Visa available

in Savannakhet at Vietnamese consulate. Need re-entry permit for Thailand. Thais seem able to go to Lao for 3 days

without visa.

Thai people...Do they need visas for Vietnam?

Is that true if they, the Thais, are coming back from Vietnam? via Laos to Thailand, can simply transit Laos with

similar 3 day pass?The kids want to go to the seaside...closer where we are than Ko Chang/Lanta!!

Thais do not need visas for Vietnam or Laos.

Thais passport holders get 30 day visa exempt entries for Laos and Vietnam.

Without a passport Thais can use a border pass and get 3 days entry to Laos from Thailand.
