Answer summary
A user inquires about what steps to take if their visa application for Thailand is not approved by the time their visa expires in Laos. Suggestions from the community include applying for a visa extension in Laos, which can typically be done at immigration offices and may allow an additional 30 days, and considering a 'border bounce' where one travels briefly out of Laos and back to reset the visa situation. It's also advised to contact the embassy for assistance.

Apply for a Laos visa extension. Most types can be extended at the immigration office in Vientiane or other provincial offices, usually for 30 days, though fees apply. Do not overstay.
