On Sunday i depart for my first ever O visa Run to Vientiane from Bangkok to Vientiane via Nong Khai

Naturally i do not want to make any mistakes / waste time

So can anyone please advise me ....

Is it right to say that all I need to obtain my 90 Day O Visa / single entry at vientiane is

• 2,000 baht fee
• Valid passport - with more than 1 year in date
• 2 completed Visa application forms
• 3 x passport photos

Any advise on where to stay in Vientiane would be welcome...is the river area guesthouses a good place for a nights entertainment ?

Any adult fun to be had in Vientiane /

Any pitfalls i should be aware of ?

thanks for your help

On what basis are you applying for the "O"? You may want to take supporting for that.

My ultimate aim is a Retirement Visa

First my 30 day TM.6 expires on tuesday

So i am attempting a 90 day O visa, then after 30 days convert to a retirement ?

I have a Thai Bank account with more than 800 K in the Bank

as per my previous post i think i have the required paper work

I just wondered if any of you guys out there had recently visited the Thai embassy In Vientiane

You only need one completed application form with 2 attached photos to apply for the visa. Download: http://vientiane.thaiembassy.org/docs/Visa%20Application%20Form%20-%20NEW%20(Aug2013).pdf

You could look at some of the reports here about Vientiane for hotel info and etc. Latest Reports Of Getting A Visa In The Region

You can apply for your extension of stay (it is not a visa) based upon retirement at immigration during the last 30 days of the 90 day entry you will get from you visa. You do not need to do a conversion of any kind.
