My kids dtv visas didn’t finish until after our travel dates (mind you I started this processing 3 months before our planned journey) but the embassy (DC) kept taking 3 to 4 weeks to ask for more documents, by this time our flights had come. I entered on DTV my kids on visa exempt, 2 weeks after arrival they have sent their evisa dtvs.

My question is, can we go across the land border to Cambodia, stamp out but on entry stamp in under the dtv with one of these border run agencies? Or does anyone know a driver who can get take me and kids (total 6 people) to do this?

Thank you very much.

And for everyone who says I should have waited for their visa to come first, you are more than to keep scrolling.

Why do the officers ask money when leaving Laos. It isn't much but I was surprised seeing that I was only in Laos for 5 days.

This is probably a long shot but does anyone know of any private taxi service that would pick me up at the border from Thakhek, Laos at 6am and take me over the border to Nakhon Phanom airport in time for me to catch my flight at 9.30am? Due to responsibilities I can't take a later flight. And the first bus over the border from Thakhek is rather inconveniently at 9.30am.

I've been coming to Thailand for many years staying in our house in Chiang rai with my wife who is dual nationality UK/Thai for 5 months from October to march .I have always used a 6 month METV..we have over the last 3 years gone across to Laos at the golden triangle resort and spent a few hours looking around the new place they are building then coming back into Thailand and starting my next 60 days.. I will be doing the same routine next week with my wife but I'm being told that I will have to stay in Laos for at least one night.. can you confirm this .I will be with my wife who is a Thai...thank you

Would a single day trip to a neighboring country still be considered re-entry?

Hi Everyone.

Is there any issues you have to face by immigration if you go through land border with DTV.

I am planning to go from Cambodia(Poi Pet) to Thailand(Khlong Luek) border.

I have heard some people have to wait for a long time at immigration and some people have to pay extra charges.

I just received my DTV visa in Vientiane, Laos. Am I able to do the land border by bus for my first entry, or do I need to arrive by air? They didn't say anything, just handed me my passport with the sticker in it... no further instructions. If anyone could clarify, I'd appreciate it, Thanks

US citizen here already in Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa obtained at Suvarnabhumi Airport getting ready to exit at the end of next month heading for Cambodia and three weeks in Siem Reap.

Taking the Giant Ibis VIP bus service over and understand that the company will help passengers in getting their land entry documentation and I pay the visa entry fees there on arrival.

Will be taking the Giant Ibis back to Bangkok and wanted to know should I experience anything different at a land border crossing coming in from Cambodia since I already have had a Thai visa stamp (albeit expired) and they have my picture and fingerprints. Do they just stamp my passport with another 60 day visa? I'll be heading for 3 months in Vietnam before that 60 days would expire.

Thanks for any help !

A month ago, I applied for a Non O (married to a Thai) through the eVisa system while in my home country. However, I still have not gotten an eVisa approval email and my flight to Thailand is in a few days.

If I don’t get the email, I can still enter Thailand as a tourist (visa exempt).

But what if I get the Non O approval email while I’m in Thailand as a tourist? Can I enter Laos then bounce back into Thailand with the eVisa approval email and still receive the Non O?

someone mentioned yesterday a Ranong border run. a short boat ride. but provided no other details. does anyone know more about this?? thanks 🙏 in advance
