another friend of mine want invite me to Singapore for a few day in 45 days so I need a visa for Thailand.

can I get a multi entry visa in Vientiane? I m from Europe.

You can extend your current 30-day visa exempt entry for a further 30 days at an immigration office in Thailand on payment of 1,900 baht. The normal time to do this is within the last 7 days of the original entry, but some immigration offices might allow you to do it earlier.

You also have the option of leaving Thailand and returning immediately to get another visa exempt entry. This should work fine at most border points (exception: those with Myanmar) if you have not done this before. If you are from a G7 country, you receive 30 days whether entering by land or air. If not from a G7 country, you receive only 15 days coming back by land.

Not all European nationals qualify for visa exempt entry.

True enough, but the OP clearly does (unless you can think of a different 30-day stamp available to Europeans).

"can I get a multi entry visa in Vientiane? I m from Europe."

If you mean a multi-entry tourist visa, METV, those are only available in your own country or country of legal residence ... although there was one report of some non-Australian once managing to get one in Australia.

A single entry tourist visa, SETV, good for a 60 day stay and extendable for another 30 days at immigrations in Thailand, those are obtainable at Thai embassies and consulates in neighboring countries ... for passport holders of many countries.

Could you get a 60 day SETV extend another 30 then head to Vientien and get another SETV?

You could get another one without a problem. It is possible to get 3 of them back to back or possibley a 4th.

you will not get multiply entry visa. sorry

in this case I will ask for a single entry visa in Vientiane and 15 days later I go to Singapour and I will ask again for a new single entry visa for Thailand. they make everything more complicated.

how easy is to get a single entry Thai visa in the Thai embassy in Singapore?

do I need a visa to fly to Singapore, I will stay only 3 days.

Google "Visa policy of Singapore" and according to your nationality that we don't know determine if you get a visa free entry to Singapore and for how long.

It is very unlikely you will get a Thai Visa in Singapore. But you don't need it actually.

Upon departure in the Thai airport, apply for a single re-entry permit that will keep the existing permission of stay valid. The one you got from the Vientiane visa. Cost is 1,000 baht.

You could get a single re-entry permit for the 60 day entry from your tourist visa that will keep the remainder of your entry valid when you return. You can get one at either airport in Bangkok for a fee of 1000 baht.

Singapore is not a good place to get any visa.

You will get a 30 day visa exempt entry when you arrive in Singapore.

Really? Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine need a visa for Singapore.

Others get 30 days visa free entry, others get 90 days visa free entry.

None of those counties get a visa exempt entry to Thailand which is what the OP entered on. See: http://www.consular.go.th/main/th/customize/62281-Summary-of-Countries-and-Territories-entitled-for.html

So I think it is safe to assume he will get one for Singapore also.

Yes, correct

Cross checked it.

oh good. so I can get a reentry permit at the airport or go to immigration office? I think I will go to the immigration office to be sure I can get a reentry permit before buying a 2 ways ticket for Singapour.

so to be clear , I can obtain a reentry permit based on an expired visa? because my 1 entry visa will be stamped "USED"when back to Thailand from Vientiane, and I will get a 60 days authorisation stamp in my passport.

You are getting a re-entry permit for your 60 day permit to stay not your visa. The visa being expired or used does not matter.

nice. OK, thank you to all of you for this info.
