Border Bounce update at Chiang Khong/ Laos today. From Brazil - bilateral agreement with more than 10 COVID extensions ..no questions asked or any requirement crossing the border today. Got 90 days stamp.

Hi all,

Recently the website of the immigration says it requires to keep 400k only for 2 months on a bank account instead of 4 months previously for Visa O Thai wife...

Has anybody been through the process recently and can confirm that ?

I wonder if it's updated or outdated info...

Thanks

Anyone had pass yet

Hello all 👋🏼

Koh Samui immigration update from this morning...

2nd covid extension.

60 days, granted. From the date the current one expires (29/01)... So, until 30/03.

No loop closure required.

Queues not bad. Took a total of 2 hrs (including 1.5hrs where we were told to come back at a certain time, which meant we could leave and go grab a coffee).

No mention anywhere of any possible covid test measures required.

Forms needed:

TM6 copy, all other relevant passport page photocopies.

TM7.

STM2.

Covid application.

Affidavit.

No embassy email stating they are not issuing letters.

No "Acknowledgement of penalties for overstay" form required.

We had to re-fill a couple of the forms as we went with the same format we used in November (helpfully supplied by the admin of this forum 👏), and they had "changed". (All of the information was exactly the same, it just looked different on the page).

Also, nearly got asked to re photo copy passport pages as they were landscape instead of portrait 😂😂😂😂

It pays to be polite!

Hello good evening I'm planning to go to Changwattana tomorrow for my 90 days report, is it the immigration is open as normal ? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this can be asked here.. I am trying to find out when the Laos boarder might be opened. But also for Laos nationals. It seems almost impossible to find something. So here I am. Thanks and stay safe.

At the moment at CW Immigration Office: Zone N

Update on 14 April

Today at Chaengwattana, immigration was almost empty. I got my daughter's Non-Ed visa which was to be expired on 23th Apr. extended for 1 year without waiting.

Important for Phuket, the location of the field immigration units set up has changed as below

Samui immigration much quieter today. They have put up shelter, put out chairs, and many signs.
