A update

I crossed into lao ,and right back 2 days ago

No visa ,no online arrival application .

I.am Canadian

No problem.at all .

20 baht ,10 min they did the online arrival it would not let me do it as it only accepts bus. Plane ,train...ride,only accepted address in lao.

As I ride my motorbike from.chanthaburi to.nong kai and did not want to stay I had none of that .

Easy ,efficient,not complicated

I am.on.METV. which I do.every year to avoid hassles.

They can, and do ,change the rules.

I also always have a onward ticket.and 20000.bHt ,always!

It seems quite simple to.me to just follow there rules .

I have another question American passport, I have you go to Laos to apply for my Non O due to bad advice, what i would like to know is we are driving up to nong khai then leaving the car at immigration, take a bus or train over apply, pay wait. My question is will my Thai girlfriend be ok going into Laos or will they try and prevent her from going? What will we need to have to make sure she can cross? I would appreciate any directions that will help

How do I get agent assistance for re-entry if I leave on my own and am staying in Laos for a week or two, before coming back? This would be my 2nd entry ever, after my first 60+30 exempt stamps. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Can I drive a rented motorbike into Cambodia? I have a Philippine driving license that according to what I've read should be valid in all ASEAN countries, also according to the renter of the bike.

Thanks

Good morning,

I have a little question about visa:

To escape the Grey European winter, I bought an Airlines ticket that Will let me arrive in Thaïland on thé 8th of December to come back to Europe on thé 3rd of April. ( nearly 4 months)

Now m'y question is, as I have two European passeports (Italian and French) would it be OK to arrive with no visa and get after 30 days an extension for other 30 days with thé first passeport,

then fly out to Kuala Lumpur to come back to Bkk and make thé same operation with thé second passeport to cover thé following 2 months of my stay ?

Do the police at the airport check the return date on the ticket and can, according to the delay of nearly 4 months, deny m'y access to the country ?

Would it be risky ?

Thank you very much for your kind advise !
