@Sandra *****
an OA visa <- that you get in your country before you come here, which requires a back ground check, medical certificate and proof of insurance DOES require insurance.Reply to

vientiane is not a crossing 😛 It's 15 km from the border, I think you mean the Nong Khai border crossing 🙂

do i have to go immigration now or after 90 days ?Brandon ************
@Mario ********
you might need to go now and file a TM30. Each office has different rules on whether you need to do a new one after returning from a different country, even if your address hasn't changed from your last TM30. You would need to ask your office what their rules are. 90 day report is due after 90 consecutive days inside of Thailand.
