Hello. I'm in front of the bus for visa run to Laos. Now they told me they are not sure if I can obtain a visa with an emergency passport.

Any knowledge of this?

If the emergency passports itinerary includes travel to Laos and a return to Thailand you should be able to get a visa.

Well a nationality might be helpful ?

German. Basically the passport if for every country. Only not Indonesia or something.

Emergency passports usually require that intended journeys are pre defined.

However , if the German emergency travel document is "open", allowing travel to most countries, you should not have a problem

I didn't go... But the visa guy asks for me in embassy there.

Now another question, as @ubonjoe suggested I can fly somewhere and fly back to receive exempt, do I have to enter the country before comes back or can I stay in transit area and wait for plane back?

If your emergency passport is valid for 6 months or more you could enter Laos and get the visa.

If you fly somewhere you must enter the other country.

Bah.... You think I can do that in the time of 2h30? I arrive at 3 and plane back gos at 5.30 @ubonjoe

It depends upon where you are flying to.. People have done it in KL with that short amount of time.

How long is your passport valid for?

8 months. I fly KL yes @ubonjoe

I assume you will soon be getting a new passport. Once you get down to less than 6 months on the emergency passport you will not be able to enter any other ASEAN country to get a new entry.

You should not have a problem in KL. But don't drag your feet.

Yes I get new passport. I made this in bkk because my old one was a bit broken. And they didn't allow another extension with this.

Thanks for answers so fast again ubonjoe.

Well, i made it in time and got the exempt. Thanks for your help everyone. There was plenty of time left.
