Hello, i’m Indonesian but since my previous visa had been expired so i’ve tried to enter Thailand with visa exemption once and they rejected me to go in and asked me to go back to Lao. They told me that i could enter by airport. So i decided to apply new Visa in Lao and right now im on the way to pass the friendship bridge Lao-Thai. I already printed all of the documents. Do you think i can pass the immigration? Please inform me, i do not want to be left behind by the bus
