Anyone done visa run via Chiang Khong? Was it smooth how long did you stay in laos?

Hi, I need to clarify an important step for being finally a teacher in this beautiful country 🤩

So when I went to Malaysia 2 weeks ago (to send all documents to Penang embassy and change my tourist visa in non-b) I had an issue, my school was not updated about eVisa and didn't give me some paper so I went back in with another tourist visa.

Now I need to go out again to show them the evisa request arrived yesterday (after so many troubles and lack of help from embassy or evisa service) and finally get the stamp of non-b visa on my passport (I still don't have a work permit but I should get it pretty soon and I don't think that because of this it should be a problem to get the non b at the border, but in case just let me know).

Can I do this border stamp in any border thai I like in Thailand (in this case Ranong that's shorter distance) or I forcely MUST go in the same embassy where I requested my eVisa (in this case, Penang)?

I think it should fine Ranong, please bring me some good news 😋

Has anyone with DTV crossed from Vientiane/Nong Khai border recently and have been asked for additional documents beside the visa?

Planning on doing a border bounce to activate my 2nd 6 months of my DTV tomorrow at PoiPet Cambodia. I just wanted to double check that there have not been any reports of issues doing this? Its as simple as leaving and coming back in again right? No paperwork required?

I have got dtv visa approval from Indonesia today but i am in Thailand with tourist visa after leaving Indonesia a few days ago. My question is whether I have to go back to Indonesia and enter Thailand with dtv visa or i can go to other neighboring countries and come back to Thailand. Lets me know. Your advice will be helpful. I don’t want to go back to Indonesia again.

I am isan now and and going to Nongkai for a couple of days tomorrow

Now if i cross the river to Laos for the day will they let me back in i still have 21 days left on my 60 day stamp

Just asking for advise with this digital arrival card just coming into play thanks for any advise

If I'm going to Laos, especially if it's to apply for a DTV visa, can I just go by bus? To get a visa on entry, they say one needs to have a return ticket already booked, and the same goes for the Thai embassy in Laos when applying for DTV.

My question: can this return ticket simply be a return bus ticket? Or does it necessarily have to be a plane ticket? And if so, please explain why. I need answers from people who have a clear answer from someone who knows, not someone who's just guessing and think they know.

Thanks!

In Phnom Penh,have a certificate from Muay Thai school, I'm heading to ho chi Minh for dtv. Can I cross by land , apply in ho chi Minh, flights are pretty spendy right now . I can't imagine it would matter? Thanks all.

Hi everyone,

I know there previously was a limit of 2 Border Crossings per calendar year for Visa Free entry, but since late last year, the new Gvt wanting to increased tourism numbers changed it to 4 per calendar year until further notice... Can anyone having recently had multiple border crossings ( by Land or Air) within the same calendar year share their experience with Immigration Officers when trying to re-enter Thailand.

Thanks

Nong Khai border cross today and no questions asked very smooth for DTV workcation first entry
