Opening times from borderpoint near Ubon

[byteHunter]

Hello together,

i have 2 questions (not sure this is the right forum but i have no idea wich one it would be):

1. what are the opening times from Chon Mek borderpoint?. In i-net i found something about 4.00pm, is that correct?

2. do they make back to back visa-exempts?

Not sure but I think the closing time is 6 pm. But the Lao visa on arrival office could close earlier.

They will do a another visa exempt exempt after you have gotten one already.

Have you extended you current visa exempt entry for 30 days at an immigration office.

if you go between 9am and 2pm you won't have a problem

what visa do you have

[byteHunter]

Yes, I extended it already to the max...30+7 day.. because I hope my papers for Marry will be ready but no...they came today and that's too late.

@timsims I don't have a visa. I have visa exempt.

They will let you cross and re-enter without a problem.

I have definitely crossed there at 8 am. And it was already open when I arrived at 7:30.

I think it is open 6 am to 6 pm. But more than likely the Lao VOA office does not open until 8 and and closes at 5 pm.

Hi the Thai side closes for foreigners at 6.00pm, or at least that was the situation a few months ago. We arrived a minute or two late ex Laos on the Thai side. The Thai officials saw us arrive by car and graciously stayed open and stamped us through. I think they said it was later for Thai passport holders and their vehicles or something similar. No problem getting stamped out of Laos just before 6pm.
