ORIGINAL POSTER
Just sent the wife on a visa run into Laos (across the bridge) from Nong Khai, to enter our 9 month old daughter in on Thai passport who’s been there on Australian visas for 6 months

They denied entry on Thai passport both in Vientiane and Nong Khai (consequently she is back in Thailand on a 30 day visa)

Anyone experienced this before? We’ve been in and out waiting the Thai passport for me mths....

Will I need to fly her back to Australia or can I do s quick in / out thru KL or Singapore?
