wondercul Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I landed in Bangkok and Thailand on 1st January. I'm now in Udon Thani. I'd like to stay in Thailand until the end of February, possibly March or April, outside chance of staying until May. Question 1. Can I get a 1 month extension in Udon Thani or Chiang Mai? 2. If not, the most cost effective way is going to Vientiane? I heard its pretty bad value for hotels and transport, and I don't want to catch bed bugs. 3. How much would the visas i might go for cost? Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 You are on a visa exempt entry, not a visa on arrival. You can extend your stay by 30 days at any immigration office. Afterhtat you will have to leave Thailand and could get a (double) entry tourist visa in Laos. Extension is 1,900 baht. A tourist visa is 1,000 baht per entry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 You got a 30 day visa exempt entry not a VOA. 1. You can get a 30 day extension of your visa exempt entry at any immigration office but you need a local address to on the application form. The fee is 1900 baht. 2. From Udon it is a short trip to Vientiane. You can get a 2 entry tourist visa there that would cost 2000 baht (1000 baht per entry). Check some of the reports here for Vientiane for more info Latest Reports Of Getting A Visa In The Region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wondercul Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) So i better get a longer visa now while I'm in Udon Thani, nearer a boarder, as my next stop, Chiang Mai, will be much more of a hassel, right? What's the price for 2 months and 3 months in loas? If you could be so kind to tell. Edited January 19, 2015 by wondercul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 See #2 in my post for the cost of the Thai visa. It will cost $30 to $42 for the 30 day Lao visa on arrival dependent upon the country you are from or 1500 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wondercul Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yeah but how long does the 2 entry 2000baht Thai visa last? Also 40 dollars is too much to get into Laos. I just want a Thai visa, i don't care about staying in laos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 You get 60 day for each entry that can be extended for 30 days. You can get up to 60 months of total stay from a 2 entry visa. You have to get the Lao visa on arrival if you want to get a tourist visa or just want to cross the bridge and return to get a visa exempt entry.

wondercul Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) I just can't beleive Thailand has made it such an effort to get a visa. I have heard people mention getting a "real visa" - a visa that doesn't require leaving the country. How much does that cost?
