Thailand visa Indonesian passport tourist visa visa extensions border crossing visa rules Southeast Asia Malaysia Laos

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, my boyfriend is Indonesian. At first, he came to Thailand with a 30-day visa exemption and then extended it for another 30 days.

After that, we went to Savannakhet,Laos to apply for a tourist visa, allowing him to stay for 60 days, which he then extended for another 30 days.

Once his visa extensions are used up, we plan to travel to a nearby country to get a new 60-day visa exemption (as the new rule just announce). Can I ask which option would be easier: flying to another country (we plan to go Malaysia) or crossing the border by land? (Vientiane, Laos) 

Thank youuu

Indonesian can do unlimited, he can take the train or bus to lao. He might get 60 days from tomorrow, and he can go immigration to extent for another 30 days. (avoid cam-bo-dia)

The 60 days exemption has not been posted in the Royal Gazette yet, so not approved till it is. Don't just assume anything.
