After 60 days stay what would be the best Option......going Vientiane

[nuckyt77]

I entered Thailand 30 march with a 30 days visa exemption. I am Dutch. I have a return ticket with a `movable`return date. I planned to return the 27th of may because of a new project in Holland. So after the 30 days I went to Immigration Jomtien and got another 30 days.

That would have been ok but.........now the starting date for my new project has changed suddenly from june 1 to july 8 so I would like to stay another month. I can change the date of my return ticket to 29th of june or later. Earlier is not possible the airline claims.

My question is.... what would be the best option for me.... I think another extension at an immigration office in the country is not possible so I think the best thing would be traveling to Vientiane and try to get a tourist visa ...single entry which I will only use until my flight out back to Holland on the 29th of june. My last tourist visa, also issued at Vientiane, dates back from 24 april 2014. The other option I think would be to stay in Vientiane for about 3/5 days and fly back in...get 30 days exemption....and leave 29th of june.

What should I do is the question now spinning around in my head. Or are there other options ......

Your advise is appreciated

You will not have a problem getting a tourist visa in Vientiane.

You could possibly make a border crossing and return to get a 15 day entry and then extend it for 30 days at immigration.

Thanks Ubonjoe.......that makes my mind a lot less worrying.

What would you do if you were me...................

You advised me before and it went perfectly so I ask you as I really think you know.......

I myself think a tourist visa would be best....and cheaper (I am Dutch...remember) but I will listen to your advice

Thanks again.
