Hello, I’m currently in Thailand with a 60 days exemption visa and would like to travel to a border country (Laos, Cambodia, or Vietnam) to apply for a SETV from a Thai embassy. Is it possible even if I’m not a resident of these countries and just a tourist ?

Hey folks. After some DTV advice.

I’m Australian but contine to travel and only head back to Aus around Christmas.

I’m currently in Laos for April.

I was hoping I could get DTV while here before returning in May. However I am being told I have to be back in Australia to do it. 🤬

Anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or alternative routes?

Im planning my first visa run to vientiane, what would be the things i need to consider?

Do i need to make an appointment in advance, do i just go to the consulate in Vientiane, or how does it work? what are the documents i need to apply for a tourist visa?

Quick note, i cannot get thai visa on arrival so please consider that

Thank you very much!

I’m gonna do border run from bangkok to Vientiane.

I will not visit around. Just border bounce.

Could you please recommend the hostel or hotel near the border?

I think it would be far from border if i stay in vientiane.

Update

I’m back in Thailand.

I took a train from bkk to Vientiane and vice versa.

Stayed 1 night. Came back next day.

No questions asked !!

No problem at all !!!

Can you get the bus from Chaing mai to Chaing Khong for a border run? Are there any updated rules for this now that they keep changing things?

I have a relatively simple query: I am a South African living in Chiang Mai, currently on a non b visa (teacher). My contract at my current school ends soon, but my new school will take approximately two months to process my paperwork for my new visa and work permit. Where would be the cheapest, and easiest place for me to leave Thailand and return to get a visa waiver? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Would it be easier going on a group tour to vietnam or laos instead of doing a border run by yourself to get another 60 days

Hello everyone

Could you please share your border bounce experience? Cuz my 180 day stamp is gonna expire soon

Which country did you do?

How many days did you have to stay? And

What questions did they ask upon entry of another country and

Entry back to Thailand?

Thanks so much in advance

Have a nice day
