Can Thai People Go To Laos Without Passport ?

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

Can Thai people go to Laos (during few days) without passport, but only with a ID card ?

Thank you.

Yes, I travelled with three Thais who came in with me, but don't ask me how, sorry, I have forgotten

Yes. 

They have to fill a form in at the border, and submit a copy of their ID with it at immigration. 

Look for a sign saying BORDER PASS, perhaps baht 50 or baht 100, get it stamped at Thai Immigration then at Lao, reverse on return.  Note, restricted to one or two nights in Laos and not for travel upcountry.

 

Thai traveling with a passport get a 30-day chop at the border for free, no Lao visa required, and can travel upcountry.

Went with my wife to Vientiane 3 moths ago. Arriving at the border, we were told that they can not deliver the pass. Had to stay one night in Thailand and the hotel took care. No idea how the hotel did it, I suppose they send someone to the city hall. Borderpass is valid for only a very short time, but we were told that 'overstay' costs a Thai only 20 or 50 thb/day. Unconfirmed. If you go to Vientiane, ignore all the friendly guys with 'cheap' cars but take the bus to the city: walk approx 150 meters , bus stops near the foodstalls on the right.

Thank you.

 

Finally, the passport will be the solution, as it is so fast to get one.
