Hallo zusammen, hat jemand aktuelle Erfahrungen, Dauer, Tips für einen Border Run nach Laos? Mit Familie und Auto/ PKW entweder nach Chong Mek oder Mukdahan.  Basis war Non -O Visa  150 Tage incl. Verlängerung .  Aus besonderem Grund muss ich nochmals verlängern. Danke für hilfreiche Antworten.

Answer summary

The post is seeking current experiences and tips for a Border Run to Laos with family and a car, specifically to the Chong Mek or Mukdahan border crossings. The individual holds a Non-O Visa that includes a 150-day duration and has extended it previously. They are looking for advice as they need to extend their stay once more. Comments suggest that a single extension per entry exists and inquire more specifically about the durations and feasibility of making the border run independently.

Möchte nochmal auf die Erfahrungen, Dauer,Tips, Auto zurück kommen. Hat jemand Erfahrungswerte zu den beiden Grenzübergängen. Wie beschrieben,ist das Visa nicht mehr verlängerbar. Nach Rücksprache mit der Immi Surin könnte ich einen Border Run nach Laos machen. Kann das auf eigene Faust funktionieren? Sollte man 1-2 Übernachtungen einplanen oder ist das nicht nötig?
