ORIGINAL POSTER

I am a teacher going to Vietienne to get a non immigrant B Visa. Is there any reason I must go directly back to Thailand after getting a Visa from the embassy in Vietienne? Can I go to say Bali first before returning to Thailand?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A teacher obtaining a Non-Immigrant B Visa in Vientiane can travel to another country, such as Bali, before returning to Thailand. The visa is valid for 90 days, allowing flexibility in travel plans.

Tod *********

Single entry tourist visas AND Non-Immigrant Type visas are VALID for 90 days, <- meaning you have that long to ENTER thailand and get stamped in once you get the visa in your passport.

you will have NO problem going to Bali and then entering thailand as long as you do it BEFORE the "enter before" date on the visa itself.
