Is it possible to do a visa run from Udon to Laos and back without staying overnight on a multi-entry non-O visa?
Hi all, does anyone know of a service in Udon that is doing the visa run to Laos and back yet?
If not and I do it myself, is it ok to be in Laos for 5 minutes and come back or do I need to stay a few days?
I have a multi entry non O visa. Just need to do the 90 day thing.
