I have two UK passports and in one i have my Yearly Non O based on being married to a Thai from Savannaket. I will go back to get another visa in a few months but want to ask; I have one passport with 8 pages left and by the time i go to get the new visa, i will have about two pages left. Can i cross into Laos with the passport almost full, get the Laos sticker in one passport and then submit my new passport for the Thai Consulate to issue my new visa? Do i need to give them both passports?

Answer summary

The user inquires about using two UK passports for visa processing. One passport has limited pages left, and they need to know if they can enter Laos with it, obtain a sticker, and then use another passport to apply for a Thai visa at the consulate. Clarifications arise about the inability to switch passports at land borders and suggestions about flying instead to simplify the process.

Much easier if you fly somewhere.

I use 2 uk PP's one for Thai non O (Thai spouse) and one for Vietnam (TRC). In and out of Thailand on 1 PP and in and out of VN on other PP. I also get my non O visa from the hcmc consulate on the PP that doesn't have the VN entry stamps and TRC.

It could be an option for you if you can't get it done at land borders.

pretty much right along the lines of what you wanna do other than they hold dual nationality and you hold two passports from the same country.

AFAIK, you can't switch passports at a land border, <- meaning the passport you stamp OUT of thailand on you have to stamp IN to Lao on and you have to give them that passport to get a thai visa issued from the thai consulate.

Thankyou Tod. So it is a requirement the passport with the Laos entry visa has to be submitted for the new Thai visa?
