A little while ago I posted about going to Laos because it seemed impossible to get a non o visa inside Thailand.

We drove to Nong Khai and booked into a pleasant motel near the friendship bridge. We drove to the border checkpoint to scope it out to formulate a plan for the following day. We looked a bit lost and confused when talking to the security guard at the entrance. A lady came up to our car and spoke extensively to my wife and the following transpired.

This lady took all of my details on that day, the following day she picked us from our motel after having made all the necessary arrangements, she drove us across the border to a hotel in Laos. We had a very casual and relaxing three days in Laos and this stranger contacted my wife to say that I now had a non o visa.

During this time we had upgraded to a better hotel, regardless, our newfound guide picked us up from the airport, handed me my visa and drove us back to our original motel (where I left my car parked during our absence). For all of this she charged nine thousand baht. I wish I had known this a lot sooner, it would have saved a lot of time, money and inconvenience, I would highly recommend her services however, I am sure that if my Thai wife had not been with me to handle all communications the outcome could have been a little more difficult. Just thought I would share and if anyone would like to know more about my own personal experience, drop me a message on messenger.

Hi

I will go Laos visa run by land from Nongkhai this month.

May I know covid entry requirements ?

Hi anyone do a Laos visa run with a company? Please recommend if so thanks :)

Can someone recommend me a reputed Visa run agents? (Laos visa run for Tourist visa)

I have a question for the group. I have been at my school for about 6 years but I am changing to a Language Center instead. The Language Center will not be able to prepare my documents in time for my Visa to expire. I think I may have to leave the country and come back on a tourist visa at least one time. My question is can I cancel and come back on a work permit by going to Cambodia or do I have to go to Laos?

Hi all I am a teacher in Thailand and I need to return my work permit ASAP to my school. My visa expires on the 22nd Jan so I’m unsure what the best option would be? I am in Chaing Mai for NYE so could possibly do a run in Laos. Please msg me if you have any advice, thanks!

Hi! I am a South African teaching in Phuket and need to do my visa run for non immigrant B before 18 December. Can anyone tell where I can go to as I have been informed that South Africans cannot be helped in Penang anymore. Not sure if it is true. Thanks in advance.

Hello! I would like to switch from 1 year Thai ED visa that expires in December 2018 to a Tourist Visa for 60+30 day extension at Promenada = 90 days tourist visa, and then in February 2019 switch to different ED visa (Self Defense) and go to Laos to activate that one. I only have 1 tourist visa in my passport and 1 ED visa. I was going to visit Penang, Malaysia for the Tourist visa in December 2018 and then Laos in February 2019 for Self Defense ED Visa. Is this doable, and should I go to Laos instead for the tourist visa first?

A question guy i have a 60 day Tourist Visa that expires on the 7 may but i will go to immigration and extend for another 30 days

Before that expires can i land cross into Laos and get another Tourist visa

RE: take a car into Laos at nongkhai border

Planning to drive up to nongkhai next week and drop by vientiane for a SETV

Has anyone taken their car over at this border? Ive done it previously at mukdahan so know the general requirements; anything different here? Relatively painless?

Insurance available?

If its a multihour ordeal id skip it and go over on foot.

Cheers
