Hello everyone here !
I am on a DTV visa. I am in the city of "Khong Chiam", near the border with Laos.
I want to do a Border run & I wanted to ask someone who knows this land border:
There is a border crossing 30 min from here to Laos ("Chong Mek International Border").
Is it possible to cross into Laos and get a visa on arrival, stay a few days in Laos, maybe in the city of Pakse, and return to the same border back to Thailand & get a new stamp on my DTV ?
They give visa on arrival ?
Do they make problems at this land border for DTV visa holders who have stayed a few days in Laos and want to return to Thailand ?
*BTW - I have a rented scooter. I'm sure they not let me in with it into Laos (or maybe yes ?!).
Can I park there at the border my scooter safely for a few days until I come back into Thailand with a new visa ?
Thank you so much,
Any help Any help appreciated !
TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual on a DTV visa in Khong Chiam is inquiring if they can do a border run to Laos via Chong Mek International Border, obtain a visa on arrival in Laos, stay in Pakse for a few days, and return to Thailand with a new stamp on their DTV visa. They are particularly concerned about the eligibility for the visa on arrival based on their nationality, potential issues at the border for DTV visa holders, and the safety of parking their rented scooter at the border.
