ORIGINAL POSTER90 day o visa, expires 3rd February for an Italian national staying in Nakhon Phanom, he needs another 3 months, what are his options? Does he need to travel to Vientiane? Thank you
TLDR : Answer Summary
An Italian national in Nakhon Phanom with a 90-day O visa expiring on February 3rd has several options for extension. He cannot extend his current visa for another three months but can pursue a tourist visa (60 days) with a possible 30-day extension, or, if he has Thai family, apply for a 60-day visiting family extension. It is not necessary for him to travel to Vientiane; he can handle his immigration needs at the local Immigration Office.

He needs 90 days, could he border bounce to laos at friendship bridge 3 then get a 60 day extension in Nakhon Phanom?Brandon ************
@Keith ******
if he's married to Thai he can provide the documentation and his wife is with him then he can do this. Just make sure that's a border open to foreigners as not every one is.Reply to

Normally people who get the non-O visa are planning to apply for the 1-year extension from that.
There's no other option that will give you an additional 3 months. You'll need to leave Thailand and get a new visa, or return without a visa. But if you return without a visa you'll only get 30 days (+30 day extension possible)

thank you, that is what I told him, this would leave him 6 days short, I advised that Vientiane is the nearest place to do another 90 days but I'm guessing as there maybe somewhere closer, any knowledge would be grateful acceptedNongnuch ********
@Keith ******
if he is 6 days short with a border bounce, 30 days plus a 30 days extension, just tell him to stay in Laos for 7 days.Keith *******

@Keith ******
probably the closest. He'll need to make an appointment though. Maybe apply for a tourist visa and get 60 days on entry then can apply for a 30 day extension.Reply to
