TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the challenges of obtaining a Non-B multiple entry one-year visa in Vientiane, Laos. It highlights that only 90-day single entry Non-B visas are available there. Participants recommend alternatives, such as applying in Penang or Kota Bharu, Malaysia, where year-long, multi-entry Non-B visas are more readily issued. They also mention requirements regarding work permits and documents needed for visa extensions and express frustrations over inconsistent rules applied by different immigration offices.

Kota Bahru Malaysia also issues the 12 Month Multi-Entry. Penang and Kota Bahru are the only Consulates in the region issuing 12 Month Multi-Entry B Visas

EVERY extension of stay, no matter the length of time they're issued for is 1900baht. period, end of story. IF you are paying more, something is not right. :/

You could always get a 90 day Non-B and then just apply for a yearly extension at the immigration office like most people that work here do.

Usually the reason people get those year-long, multi-entry Non-B's is that their company cannot supply the documentation to support getting a yearly extension inside the country.

Other than Savannakhet issuing year-long, multi-entry Non-O visas based on marriage, NEITHER Vientiane or Savannakhet have issue year-long, multi-entry visas of ANY type for a LONG time now.
