Hi, Been doing some research on Visas and wanted to know if the notes I've got are correct Before i Departure on my trip around some of SEA. Planning to go for 80-90 days in total, However i am not sure how long i want to stay in the countries i would be visiting. So i have a UK passport, I'm Flying into Thailand which gives me a 30 day free Visa Entry pass, if it needed to be extended i could do a border run or get a 30 day stamp for 1900baht from an immigration office. Going into Cambodia at the border i can buy a 30 day tourist visa for $30 or a E-visa that allows an extension for another 30 days for $45. Going into Vietnam from border i get a 15 day free visa stamp or can get an E-visa before entering for 30 days for $25 and extending it if needed with a border run. and entering Laos by border i can buy a 30 day tourist visa for $35 and if it needed to be extended i can pay per day from travel agencies or do a border run. Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK passport holder can enter Thailand with a 30-day visa exemption, extendable via border runs or a 30-day immigration extension. For Cambodia, a 30-day tourist visa can be purchased at the border for $30 or via E-visa for $45, but extensions might not be available for the E-visa. In Vietnam, travelers can get a 15-day stamp for free or opt for a 30-day E-visa at $25, which can be extended with border runs. For Laos, a 30-day tourist visa costs $35, extendable by paying per day through agencies or by doing a border run.

I don't think you can extend an e-visa from Cambodia..

Entering Laos using USD you'll get the visa a bit cheaper but its nominal, only a few pounds cheaper

The visa for land entry to Cambodia is 1200bt, for Laos its 1500bt both give you a 30 day stay as a UK citizen
