DOUBLE ENTRY VISA

Does anyone kow if they are still doing multi entry visa"s in Laos???

I gather not Dave. It was said (in a thread on here that I can't find now ) that they are no longer doing double entry tourist in Laos. Personally I don't know, but the information given was by the posters personal experience while in the Embassy & seemed genuine.

you can get these visa,s same day but costs an extra 3500 baht,its cheaper to stay in loas for the extra day,ie 600 baht for aircon room in centre of vientiane,
hope that helps

Thanks Bob that was Ralph and he went on 13 July, above mike went on July 30, just wondering f its still available???

Mikes was an 'o' visa Dave (which I think there are some restrictions on - marriage? retirement?), I think Ralph was talking about the tourist visa - which is just a turn up & pay the cash...
Agree it would be very interesting to find out exactly what is available from them at the moment.

Despite reports to the contrary, the double entry (2*60 days) tourist visa is still available from Vientiane for a fee of 2,000 baht. A friend of mine went & got one last week.

Hi
Has anyone done a tourist visa extension of 30 days lately?? and if so did Nong Kai require a air ticket out??

Does the rule say you must have a valid ticket out of the country?? E.g. if i turn up with a bus ticket to vientienn is that sufficient or if i turned up with a flight ticket to vientienn is that ??? Both are international journeys and out of the country!!

I think they are more interested in airline tickets than bus tickets and are you sure Nong Khai give 30 day extensions than 7 days only?

Dave, the last time I tried I only got 7 days and it was still 1,900 baht
I didn't have an onward ticket but I was not asked to produce one either.
As said a thousand times before I think it depends on the gentleman's mood that day.
Personally I don't even bother to try and extend it anymore.

Agree with Roy.
The tourist visa extension is a non starter now. It was only really useful to anyone who wanted to stay in Thailand for a long time (without getting an O visa) when they originally brought in the 90/180 rule. Then you could do 60 + 30 extension then 30,30,30 then back to another 60 + 30 extension.
With Nong Khai bringing in the "air ticket" rule & Vientiane willing to give a double entry tourist visa then the need for an extension has really gone away.

Time ago it was issued the rule that to request a tourist visa you had to show an air ticket exiting Thailand to the Embassy. Yet when I requested a TV in Phnom Pehn past May and in Saigon past August they did not ask for it. Do you know if Vientiane Embassy asks for such an exit air ticket or what you need is just your passport, a copy of it and two photos (plus visa fee of course) ?

As of a couple of weeks ago Vientiane did not need an air ticket for a tourist visa.
You need a copy of the "information" page of your passport, plus a copy of the Laos entry stamp, plus (from memory) 1 photo and the baht!!!

happy to know I don't need to waste baht on a useless air ticket
txh for the info

They just ask for the main passport page now.
Instead they ask for 2 photos (I wonder why, they stick them both on the same form )
