ORIGINAL POSTERWhat is the process for getting a new tourist visa in Vientiane? I want to go with the visa tour companies but do I have to register online first? Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for obtaining a new tourist visa in Vientiane typically involves contacting a visa tour company for assistance. Starting February 1, an online application process will be in place, and it is necessary to register online before proceeding. If you are unable to secure a new tourist visa in Vientiane, you may still be able to enter Thailand under the Visa Exempt Entry, depending on your passport. You are advised to check the specific requirements based on your nationality.

That visa company has a full responsibility about customers. So, they should to organize all, include a queue online. Please ask them first.

"I was a teacher and had a non-b visa. I am currently waiting for a new non-b visa from my school but they said i should renew my tourist visa first. I have done this a few times this year but left thailand for 6 months. I arrived on a tourist visa 3 months ago and have to go to laos now. My question is if they dont give me a new tourist visa in laos will i be allowed to enter thailand because i need to rebook my flight and check out of my apartment. Thanks"

As i said it depends on your passport. People say many things, did you check out the link I provided to see in which category your country is?Albert *******
@Robert ******
But i heard from somebody .If you don;t have a visa you can't enter Thailand via Nongkhai immigration. So I thought the Visa Exempt Entry is by airplane.Albert *******
@Robert ******
Thank you.Robert *******
@Albert ******
some passport holders can get a 30 day Visa Exempt Entry if they come to Thailand without a Visa. Check this list if your country is on it: *************************************************************
