Is the Laos tourist visa on arrival fee for Australian citizens USD $35? I'm currently on an ED visa in Thailand which is due to expire on 9th August. I plan to fly to Laos that day, stay overnight and then return to DMK airport in Thailand the following day and get a tourist visa on arrival for 30 days when I get here. After that 30 days is over, I plan on flying back to Australia. Is there any problems I might have?
TLDR : Answer Summary
An Australian citizen currently on an ED visa in Thailand will likely encounter a USD $30-$35 fee for the Laos tourist visa on arrival. Their travel plans involve flying to Laos, staying overnight, and returning to Thailand the next day, seeking a 30-day tourist visa upon re-entry. However, there are risks of entry rejection into Thailand based on past visa history, particularly at Bangkok's DMK or BKK airports. Travelers are advised to consider alternative routes, such as land crossing over the Friendship Bridge from Laos, to reduce potential entry issues.
