revgreen Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I have resided in Thailand for 3 years (plus a few weeks). In that time I've acquired 3 tourist visas and 4 non b visas. Never consecutive tourist visas, all have been separated with a non b for work. I have a new job (again, yeah sorry) and need to do the tourist -> non b process again. I'm starting to get a bit worried as to whether or not I'll encounter future hassles. Should I be? Need to make this visa trip before the 25th so I'm hoping someone can suggest a place that won't cause any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIMHILL Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 May I point out, getting a visa from the embassy is one thing, but how immigration; at the point of entry, handle it is the other matter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilo Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Received 4th back-to-back from Vientiane last week with no warning stamp. A bit hit and miss but still the most amenable place for visas. I went on a Tuesday mid-morning and was out very quickly which was great as it's extremely hot there now. I re-entered via friendship bridge (private car) and was wholly hassle free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwardandtubs Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Is Vientiane more lenient than Savannakhet these days? I've done both once and found Savannakhet to be less hassle but that was years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revgreen Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 One more (probably) stupid question - the 1000 baht fee must be paid in THB, yeah? Where can I get THB in Vientiane? I ignorantly only brought USD with me & used the only baht I had in my wallet at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certain you could find somebody with 1000 baht that would be happy to change it for dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
