I want to spend 5 months in Udon Thani, German passport.

Is it feasible to plan like this:?

2 months Tourist Visa from the Thai-Embassy in Germany, EUR 35.00

1 month extension from Udon Thani Immigration, THB 2,000

Laos E-Visa, USD 50, regular bus to Nong Khai/Friendship Bridge/Vientiane.

Taking the next bus back across land border crossing into Thailand, getting stamped in for 30 days for free.

1 month extension from Udon Thani Immigration, THB 2,000

Thanks guys!

Laos e visa pretty much just burned me for 1800 baht. They sent me an email asking for my name again, lol. Then they said they couldn't find my application number and or passport number. It screenshot everything and entered it multiple times with no luck. Non sense.

Following Garrett Greenwald comment on another post regarding the new Laos e-Visa i went though the steps till the last page outta curiosity.

$46.58

And its 30 dollars (depends on nationality but oscillates between 30-35) at the border/airport.

Not trying to be cheap, complain or anything.

For someone with a few pages left on the passport it might be very well worth the extra 16 dollars.

Or someone who doesnt mind the 16 dollars and doesnt wanna fill forms on arrival, queue that long (the e-Visa lane at the airport is always empty)

It did caught my attention cuz Cambodian e-Visa is 6 dollars more (which many end up paying just as much in brives at the border).

Seems reasonable to pay a bit more for the platform, the convenience, plus the credit card processing fees they have to pay, etc.

But 50%... mmm...
