Hi. I have a new colleague who needs to convert his Tourist visa to a Non-B visa. I am aware of the process and what documents are required but my colleague is from Sudan. I am wondering if he may have issues going to Laos for the Non-B due to his nationality. Does anyone know or should I contact the Thai Embassy in Laos or the Laos Embassy in Thailand? I am aware there are some special requirements / documents for some African countries.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A colleague from Sudan needs to convert a Tourist visa to a Non-B visa, but there may be nationality-specific requirements that could complicate the process in Laos. It is suggested to verify details with the Thai Embassy in Laos or check online resources for any additional documents needed for Sudanese nationals.
