Where can I get a 60-day Thai visa easily while sightseeing nearby?

@Jordan *******

sorry I mean 30 days.

@Jordan *******

sorry, I mean 30 days

@Giuseppe *******

not true

@Ilenia *******

if you are Italian 🇮🇹 you get 90 days straight on arrival

You don't need any visa to go in to Malaysia. Have you already extended your 30 day visa exempt stamp?

but you have too consider one thing........their wont be any meatballs ;)

yeh thats true the bus left me aswell as i was the only tourist.

@Ilenia *******

not scary, just stressful.

@Cheryl *********

awesome

my only problem with Savannakhet was that I was the only falang crossing the border, it was evening and the VOA window appeared to be closed. By the time I got it sorted, the local bus I had gotten in Mukdahan decided to leave without me. The immigration officers were incredibly helpful, though. First they tried to get me a ride from random strangers, and finally, one immigration officer took me in her car, and even drove me to a few guesthouses! Very sweet, and typical Lao hospitality. Later I went to get something to eat, and a local woman who I was chatting to in the restaurant paid for my meal.

You fly to ubon or khon khaen, i didnt find it so difficult and there aren't tourist so everything was faster, less noise, less chaos. Savannaketh very good, i also rent a motorbike.

i obtained my NON O visa their so bye comparison it is harder. but also transport wise it harder toget to. but much much quieter loved the peace from the tourist industry lol

Savannaketh is not harder, i have been there. You just need passport and bank statememt and that is all.

@Jordan *******

it's harder for a tourist visa? used to be easier. oh, well. i liked it there, but i'm easily amused 😊

@Cheryl *********

but much harder for a tourist visa and their is absolutly nothing to do lol

@Tod ********

it's been a couple of years since i've been there, but i found Savannakhet to be easier than Vientiane. Much more chill and less busy.

I second Vientiane. I'm flying back from there tonight (I flew into Udon Thani and took a van across the bridge) and it was super easy. I believe Monday is when the groups go, so go on a Tuesday. It took under an hour and picking it up the next day took like a minute, it was so fast. They didn't ask for proof of anything -- just need copies of your passport/departure card as well as two photos.

I just got my 60 day SETV in Vientiane before the new year, 1000 baht . I did it through an agent. I arrived at Thai Embassy in the morning around 10 am, applied for visa and got my visa and passport the following day at 4pm so a night required. I believe you cannot get your visa back same day of application so 1 night required wherever you go

@Ile***

, you could get your tourist visa from a thai consulate in another country and then travel around it if you wanted to.

The tourist visa is good for 90 days <- meaning you have that long to enter thailand and get stamped in for 60 days

@Ile***

, I believe that Penang requires a hotel booking and proof of 20K baht in funds.

@Ilenia *******

, oh sorry, no, that is a single entry visa only so it means you come in one time and get stamped in for 60 days

IF you needed to exit the country and come back during those 60 days you would need to buy a re-entry permit at the immigration office for 1000baht to keep the 60 day stamp 'alive', otherwise it would cancel when you stamped out of the country

as long as you get a single entry tourist visa from a thai consulate before you come back you'll get stamped in for 60 days when you enter thailand
