I'm going to Thailand in 3 weeks. I'll be there for 66 days (including my time in Laos and Vietnam). I wanted to know about my options for getting a Visa. Thanks in advance!

Answer summary

The user inquires about visa options for their upcoming 66-day trip to Thailand, which includes travel to Laos and Vietnam. Responses suggest checking the Thai Consulate for visa options, with the possibility of entering Thailand visa-exempt for 30 days, extendable by another 30 days. Returning after visiting Laos or Vietnam may grant another 30 days entry, though there are restrictions on the number of visa-exempt entries per calendar year. Recommendations also include ensuring proper visa arrangements for both Vietnam and Laos.

You will get stamped in for 30 days visa exempt. This can be extended by a further 30 without leaving. If you go and come back, you get stamped in for another 30 when you come back. Depending on your travel plans and how long you plan to spend in Laos and Vietnam you likely won't need a visa in advance. The only thing to bear in mind is that there is a limit of 2 land visa-exempt entries per calendar year but you are unlikely to run up against that.

You will need to apply for a visa for Vietnam online before you go there. You can get the Laos visa on arrival (either airport or land border). Visa fees for both are best paid in US dollars.

For Thailand, no, it's not VOA but visa-exempt and it is free for Americans.

For Laos, VOA is $35. For Vietnam, e-Visa online is $25.

Visit the website of the Thai Consulate or Embassy in the country where you are at the moment. Look at all the visa options, choose one that fits the requirements and lenght of permitted stay in Thailand and apply for that visa.
