Answer summary

The user inquires about the possibility of obtaining a new 60-day visa in Laos after their current 60-day visa expires on May 9. A commenter suggests that while the user can skip the 30-day extension, it is a viable option for 1900 baht. They recommend considering the extension before traveling to Laos for a new visa at either Savannakhet or Vientiane.

No obligation to take the 30 day extension BUT if your objective is to stay here, why not take the 30 days for 1900baht,

After that if you want to you can slog on up to one of the consulates in Lao (Savannakhet/Vientiane) and get a new tourist visa.

I mean what is your reasoning in not taking the 30 day extension?

Either way works justt the same, one Visa run and one Extension of Stay. Any holidays or such that coincide with your possible travel dates to avoid?

you need to check their website. They states the processing time is two working days NOT including application day. If you apply for your visa on Friday, you will get a visa on next Tuesday if no national holidays
