Can I and my Indian girlfriend get a 30-day visa upon entering Thailand from Laos at the Chiang Khong border?
Hi all.. I'm planning to enter Thailand via Chiang Khong border crossing from Laos with my gf. I am an EU passport holder and she is an Indian passport holder. Can we get the 30 day free visa at the border? Do we need to apply for it online or just turn up at the border? Thanks 🙏

It is not a country but a union of countries where common rights and duties apply if you are part of the Schengen countries.

You will have no problems entering as long as you have a passport from a visa exempt eligible country (EU is not a country, there's no EU passport) and haven't already entered Thailand without a visa 2 times this year.
But there's reports that some land borders are not allowing Indians to enter even though they're eligible for visa exempt.
