Can I re-enter Thailand on a visa exemption after a short stay in Laos?

TR Visa Visa Extension Visa Exemption Re-entry Visa Cambodian Passport Thailand Immigration Travel to Laos

Dear Group members,

My 60 day TR Visa plus 30 day extension will expire on Monday next week. I have applied another 60 days to stay in Thailand so that I can finalize my personal documents but my application has been rejected. However, my Cambodian citizen is eligible for 14 day with no Visa into Thailand . If I go to Lao and stay there for one or two day and back to Thailand, is it possible for me to do so?

Please advise me?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice regarding their expiring TR visa and inquiring whether they can exit to Laos for a day to then re-enter Thailand using a Cambodian passport, which allows for a 14-day visa waiver. Comments clarify that while the Cambodian passport does allow for a short entry into Thailand, it does not permit extensions, and suggest alternatives such as applying for a new visa at the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh.

So you have a Cambodian passport and one other? I would assume that if you re-enter from Laos on this other passport you'd get a 30 day Visa Exempt stamp. Is this correct?

Not sure how you could apply for another tourist visa while still inside Thailand. If you go to the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh you can apply there

Those with a Cambodian passport are not eligible for visa exempt. They can get bilateral agreement entry (visa waiver) for 14 days. This is not eligible for any extension.
