Hi everyone!

So in 4days I'm going to Vientiane to do a tourist visa. I've read that we need a photocopy of the Laos' visa and stamp. My question is : is it acceptable if the Laos' stamp is on a different passport than the Thai tourist visa? I want to enter the country with my French passport and comeback to Thailand with my tourist visa on my Belgian passport. 

Thank you!

I am almost 100% sure you can't do that. BUT check when you go, I mean you'll have both passports so you might as well try it.

If you were to fly into Lao I believe you could stamp out of thailand on your french passport, then get the lao visa at the airport on your Belgian passport and then use it to get the thai visa at the consulate so you could enter thailand on the Belgian one.

That's the only way I have heard it working.

Mmm then I think I will not play with this and go with one passport all along. Just to be safe. But if I don't forget I will ask the person at the counter if it's allowed.

There are reports of people doing this and there are reports of people NOT being able to do it. I think it's totally gonna depend on the person at the thai consulate on whether they will let you do it or not.

IF you try it definitely report back on how it worked out okay?
