ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi there, does anyone know if there's an option for getting a Re Entry permit at the Friendship bridge (Nong khai) going from Thailand to Laos?

I will be crossing to Laos by land and need to make sure I can get a Re Entry at the spot. Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The response clarifies that it is not possible to obtain a Re-Entry permit at the Friendship Bridge (Nong Khai) when crossing into Laos. Foreigners must secure the permit in advance from their local immigration office before traveling.

No, re-entry permits are not sold for foreigners at the land border checkpoints. You need to get one before you go at your local immigration office.
