ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone, I’m visiting Thailand in August for three weeks on a 60 days visa. I’m planning to visit Laos for about a week during this time and I do realize that I’ll have to apply for an online visa to enter Laos.

My question , after my visit to Laos would I have any issues re-entering Thailand, are there any procedures I’d have to take care of or is it straight forward to re-enter Thailand.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

It depends if you have a multiple entry visa. If not, leaving TL will cancel it, or perhaps you can buy a re-entry permit before leaving.

I’m not 100% sure but I would think that a 60 days visa exemption wouldn’t be multi entry visa!

It is an extra payment on top of the cost of the visa. Last time I got one, it was 1,900 B for the visa and 3,900 B for the multiple entry .

I got my visa at immigration at a Laos border crossing point. 40 US dollars.

On return to Thailand I got a new 60 day visa exempt stamp.

I'm sure you don't need an on line visa to visit Laos, just go to the border and pay the entry fee

For a three weeks stay on a 60 days visa exemption there’s no issues to re-enter Thailand and get another visa exemption at the border/airport. You just fill out a new TDAC.

If you really entered Thailand on a 60 days tourist VISA you applied for online as a e-visa and payed around 40 USD before you entered Thailand, you’ll need to purchase a re-entry permit in order to get stamped back in again.

Thanks for your prompt response. My visa type is 60 days visa exemption so I take it according to your advice I’ll just have to fill a form to re-enter Thailand.

@Mahmood *******

you know you are entering visa exempt so why do you write 60 day visa in your post? Visa exempt is not a visa

@Mahmood *******

it’s not a visa, just permission to enter for 60 days and have a nice stamp in your passport

Yes the same card as you fill out when you enter first time and you’ll need to do upon all entries 0 - 72 hours before you enter Thailand.
