TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa at the Royal Thai Embassy in Laos. The visa allows for a stay of 60 days and can be extended for an additional 30 days within Thailand. Note that you'll need to obtain a Visa on Arrival to enter Laos first.

Anyone can go to the Thai Embassy in Laos. and apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa good for 60 days (term of 90 days) that can be Extended inside Thailand for another 30 days.
But to enter Laos you must buy a Visa on Arrival to get into Laos.

McAvinchey thanks a lot for ur information.Ivan ************
Yes should be very easy for you then
@Wil****
as you get visa-exempt into Laos as an ASEAN national. 1,000B for the visa and collect next afternoon. If you have a choice don't go Monday as it is busiest then.William ********

I think you should be OK as Myanmar is not on the restricted list but I'd double check with the embassy, they won't give tourist visas to a lot of Asian nationalities including some other ASEAN ones. I have definitely seen a lot of Fillipinos there and I think I have seen people from Myanmar there before though.***********************************************************************

William, that’s nice 😊. But it depends on your passport, not your ethnicity 😋. You are correct, with Myanmar passport you get 14 days Visa Exempt entry into Laos. Also with Thailand, but I believe entry must be by Air only (not land).
A tourist visa is a good idea, but I have further info on ease of Myanmar passport getting Thai Visa in Laos, sorry.

Gruen YEP. I am from Myanmar. So as an Asian i can enter Laos, thailand for 14 days free. I think i dont need to get visa for arrival.🤔.... ps: its abou tourist visa. So here what i got is i can enter Laos through border and then go to royal thai embassy of Vientiane and apply tourist visa and then come back. Right?Jim *******
He wants a tourist visa.
Joe ***********
William said 14 I just took his word for it
Mike ********
Land entry to Thailand Visa Exempt are now 30-days, limited to 2 land entries per calendar year.
Joe ***********
And you cannot buy visa on the border - you still have to Enter Laos get the Laos Visa on Arrival - turn around - come back to Thailand - enter and get a 14 day Exempt Entry (or it may be a Visa on Arrival) for you.

Vientiane is only 25 kilometers from the Thai Border (Mekong River) across from Nong Khai Thailand

How can I renew my 30-day tourist visa in Laos, and what are my options for obtaining a 60-day visa?
