ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello and good Afternoon

So soon we need to go for Visa O-A Multiple Entry for extension to Laos, Nong Khai.

How im thankful got informed here I need to go for at least 24 hours to Laos and when I get back to Thailand Border Immigration I get one Year single Entry extension.

Sadly because Family circumstances we need to go over the Weekend. Is the Immigration open over the Weekend 30.8 to 31.8 there?

Best Regards, Marcel

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired about the process of extending their O-A visa by traveling to Laos and whether the Nong Khai border immigration would be open on the weekend for this purpose. They were informed that the border control is open every day of the year, including weekends and holidays. Additionally, they were reminded of the necessity for a new year of health insurance and the requirement for a re-entry permit to maintain their visa status.

Just to let people know

The O/P did bounce out/back and received a new year entry stamp.. They're good until Aug 30th 2026.. (y) (y) (y)

If they need to travel out of the country they will have to buy a re-entry permit (single/multiple) to keep this new year entry stamp 'alive'.

You have a valid one year, multi-entry Non-OA visa (that you got from the thai consulate in your country before you came here) and that visa is still valid 🙂

AND

You want to bounce out/back before the Non-OA visa itself expires and get a new entry stamp for a year <- is that correct?

Remember you also need a new year of the mandatory 100K USD health insurance too (they will want to see it at the border when you stamp back in)

You're not talking about Immigrations either, you're talking about the border crossing people at passport control and those don't close for weekends or holidays, they're open every day of the year at the Nong Khai border .
