If I get a tourist visa in Laos, how long can I wait before I need to cross the border and activate it? Also, does the number of extra days you spend in Laos after you have been granted your tourist visa get subtracted from your total days? Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
When you obtain a tourist visa in Laos, the validity period typically allows waiting for up to six months before you must cross the border to activate it. Once you enter Thailand, a single entry tourist visa is valid for 90 days, with a stamp granting you an initial 60 days. The days spent in Laos after getting the visa do not count toward the visa duration.
