Update. I called the Thai consulate in savannaket myself and they said closed along with visas on arrival and you cannot get a Laos visa at any Laos consulate here in Thailand. I'm on a married visa OK til 9 April but then will have to start searching for alternatives

I have the same for the last 10 years and everytime when the15 month are finished I get my 60 days from our local immigration, Sisaket. That gives me nearly 17 months.

I have to do it on the 8th of April.

@Andrew *****
sure, you're still here, and your still with your family, right? Ergo, you are visiting then.

You should be aible to get a 60 day extension , reason, visiting family. It's 1900 BAHT at your local immigration.

9th April is your Admitted until date or the Valid until date on the visa?
Robert *******
you can do the 60 day family visit as
@Fr***
mentioned, or if you can organize the 1 year Extension. To get a new visa would be a problem at the moment
