Hello All!
Need some help asap. Long story short. Here are the specifics.
- I hold a American passport.
- I study in Chiang Mai
- My ED visa ends on 10/25 (2 days from now)
- I am still awaiting my new ED visa which may be longer than 4 weeks
- I have not used any exemptions this year
I would like to make a border run that is cheap and gets me atleast 30 days. My questions are:
1. Does Mae Sai give 30 day tourist visas for border crossing?
2. Does anyone know of some good Visa service companies running vans to Vientiane or Mae Sai?
Thank you!
