ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi guys. I arrived Jan 3 on a non o through marriage.

So I got 90 days.

I have 4 month flight ( can change )

Now I have 3 choices.

Extend 60 days at immigration 1900

Border bounce 30 days. Fee + gas.

Extend to 1 year in Laos. 5,000 +

One thing puzzles me.

When I reported my address in kanchanaburi on Jan 4. Imm officer said I had to do a 90 day report even though my visa is only for 90 days.

Mind you, she also told me that I couldn't stay for 4 months ( flight ) because my visa was only for 3 months. When I said I will come back and extend for 60 days , she said no only 30, then another Imm Officer said yes 60 OK.

I taught English here for 7 years so understand quite a bit about visa issues but as you know things change.

Sorry for long post.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

They are considering extending their stay for an additional 60 days at immigration, doing a border run for 30 days, or extending their visa for a year in Laos. There is some confusion about the immigration officer's instructions regarding reporting and extending the visa.
