Hi all! If I were taking the bus from Udon Thani into Laos and staying for a couple days before coming back, would that give me a 30-day stamp since it's by land? And if I decide to go to the embassy there and apply for a visa instead would that still give a 60-day stamp even though I would be returning by land? Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post inquires whether taking a bus from Udon Thani to Laos will grant a 30-day visa exemption stamp and if applying for a visa at the Laos embassy will yield a 60-day visa. According to a comment, the answer is affirmative for both cases, provided there haven't been more than two land border crossings in the calendar year for visa exemption.
