Non-B Visa Visa Extension Passport Requirements Laos Visa Immigration Advice

ORIGINAL POSTER

I currently only have 2  blank pages left that I can use in my passport. I will be going to Laos tonight to apply for a new Non-B visa. Problem is that I need to wait at least 6 months to get a new passport from the South African embassy in Bangkok apparently. So, I'm wondering if it will be possible to still extend my Non-B visa somehow after 3 months which would allow me to have enough time to collect my new passport in Bangkok? 

I would appreciate any suggestions or advice you might have for me.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The poster is concerned about having only 2 blank pages left in their passport while applying for a Non-B visa in Laos. They need to know if it's possible to extend the Non-B visa after 3 months, as they will take about 6 months to get a new passport from the South African embassy in Bangkok. Commenters suggest that there might not be enough space for stamps and visas, leading to potential complications with visa issuance and extensions.

They can put the Laos stamp on your forehead, perhaps.

With some help and luck, exit stamp out of Thailand between other stamps, than 1 full page for the Laos Visa, entry stamp somewhere between the other stamps with some luck. It is not going to work out, not enough passport space to get the visa.

Simple math...

-

***

page for exit stamp for Thailand.

- 1 page of visa to Laos if you don’t have yet.

-

***

page for each entry / exit stamp for Laos.

- 1 page for visa to Thailand.

-

***

page for entry stamp for Thailand.

-

***

page for extension and

***

page for reentry permit.

These are the least space you will need for each. Sum up whatever you need and compare to your space left.

At the point of that you don’t have enough space you might be refused for any of above. Without enough space for stamp, no extension or whatever.

Hope you have at least enough space to be back to Thailand with visa at the first step now.

How long does it take to get a new passport if you go back to SA?

Sounds very tight. Non-B will eat up one page already. Entry stamp on that Non-B will take up some space on the last remaining page.
