Hello everyone, 

Im currently on non-b visa extension which ends on the 6th December die to being terminated from job.

I would like to make a border run to Laos to receive tourist visa, is that possible in my case?

Answer summary

The poster is currently on a non-B visa extension that expires on December 6th due to job termination and is seeking advice on making a border run to Laos for a tourist visa. A comment suggests obtaining a letter from the employer to cancel the work permit and then visiting immigration for a new stamp, allowing the individual to apply for a tourist visa at a consulate in Laos, pending their policies.

You need to get a letter from your employer stating that you will be finishing work on the 6th December. Take that along with your work permit before the 6th to the ministry of labour and have them cancel your work permit effective of the 6th. Then go to the immigration office and have them cancel your existing extension. They will give you a new stamp until the 6th.

Leave by then and you can apply anywhere that allows you to apply for a tourist visa. Whether the Laos embassy/consulate will issue one straight after a Non B extension is up to their policy.
