Confused on next permission to stay.

[james.d]

Hello All,

My current permission to stay issued in Vientaine Laos based on Thai wife was extended in BKK and is due to expire on Saturday 20^th May.

I have had the following in said order since returning to BKK mid 2015 after several years working overseas:

1.       Vientaine Laos extension based on Thai wife.

2.       Bangkok Non O visa based on Thai wife and having the 400K in the bank. This was valid for 1 year.

3.       Vientaine Laos extension based on Thai wife.

4.       Vientaine Laos extension based on Thai wife.

Am I eligible for another visa run to Laos or could I go to Savannakhet?  I hold a British passport, however sadly I do not have a lot of funds here at present.

I have spent several hours searching here but I got confused, is a METV (Multi Entry Tourist Visa?) the type issued in Savannnakhet and needing 200K in the bank? If I went to Vientaine again, would I be refused/blacklisted?...given I have the above 3 in my passport.

Thank you for any feedback,

Best Regards,

James.d

You need a Multi Entry Non Immigrant O Visa.

You can get it at the Thai Consulate in Savanakhet Laos.

Not sure what you got in Vientiane since they don't do extensions. Perhaps a single entry non-o visa based upon marriage.

You could get a multiple entry non-o visa in Savannakhet with no financial proof. The visa allows unlimited 90 day entries for a year from the date of issue.

Thank you All so much.

 

I shall go to the Thai Consulate in Savannakhet and apply for the Non O multi entry next Thursday  and shall receive on Friday so as not to overstay as mine currently expires on Saturday.

Taking 5K and:

1. passport, entry card - original and copies.

2. photos,

3.Wifes ID signed copy,

4.wedding cert original and copies

5.house book and copy. 

 

As i will drive from BKK on Wednesday, are the Thai Consulate opening times the same as Vientaine...08:00 until 1pm then pick up at 1pm next day?

Does my wife need to be present also?

Finally, i imagine it will be very crowded at the border so getting a Laos entry visa in BKK is better & cheaper than at the border?

 

Many, many thanks again.

1. Only a copy of your passport photo page will bee needed.

2. Two 3.5X4.5 cm photos for the visa application.

The open at 08:30 and accept applications until 11 am. Pickup the next afternoon at 1:30 PM.

Not sure it would be cheaper to get the visa at Lao embassy in Bangkok. I think the fees is the same.
