Getting tourist visa in surrounding countries. Where?

[jasperA]

Where is the best place to go? I only have had one tourist visa before this and a 30 day stamp. I am american.

[PoorSucker]

How long are you planning to stay?

Where are you located?

Vientiane in Laos issues double entry tourist visas.

[jasperA]

Go to Vientiane in Laos and get a double entry visa.

That will give you 180 days.

[jasperA]

Thank you for your help.

1. Wait 180 days? i thought it was only 3 months for double entry?

He was writing about the total stay possible from the visa not the validity of the visa.

[jasperA]

So how do you get 180 out of a double entry tourist visa?

[ubonjoe]

Extend first 60 day entry by 30 days and then do a border run to use the 2nd entry prior the visas enter before date and then extend the 2nd 60 day entry by 30 days.

How often can you get away with that?!

[AllThaiedUp]

Why not a triple entry?.. is a triple entry available there as well?

[ubonjoe]

They only do 2 entry tourist visas.

Royal Thai Embassy in Vientiane/Laos will issue, at least, 2 Double Entry for one passport.

In some cases 3 in a row, but than you will get the Red stamp and/or the warning, blue stamp, to show the next time, funds and proof of Residence.

The validity of Visas from Vientiane are 3 month from date of issue, means both entry must be used on or before the ENTER BEFORE date.

Each entry give you 60 days and can be extended at Thai Immigration by another 30 days.

For activation of the second entry you can join a border with us.

Thank you

Go to Bali for a Triple Entry Visa.

Go to Bali for a Triple Entry Visa.

And you will be asked for paid, confirmed exit air tickets for all three entries.

Since that is not convenient for everybody, many do fine with double entry in e.g. Savannakhet Laos.
