Laos is starting eVisa now so you would have to apply online and they state 10-15 days processing time. a long time… probably better to fly to vietnam and do it online (evisa) there. takes maybe 5 days. have all documents prepared. some embassies require 3 or 6 months of financial proof / bank statements… you should search this group for the specific embassy to learn about the requirements

@Patrik ******

it just depends which embassy you use. they all have different requirements.

1900 should be the extension fee. once per entry. so have to leave after 360 days and come back… probably easier to bordern run every 180 days.

1. you need to leave the country to apply. everything else would be illegal and sketchy

2. all the countries are changing to eVisa and there is no more 1day visa run to Laos for example. Laos especially lists 10-15 days processing time with the eVisa starting from january (all appointments booked our weeks ago for 2024).

3. an agency cannot really impact your visa process. they can check your documents and help with questions. but so can this fb group for free. up to you if you want to pay that much money for basicaly 20mins of work - uploading 4 documents.

they say dont apply if you come in more than 3 months. but there is no check if you actually entered the country at a later time.

@Nongnuch *******

i have heard from people that were 6 years over

TM30 is usually digital and not a document you would have. only some provinces go hard on this as a document.

@Nongnuch *******

with the right contacts he might avoid a ban…. i think thats all he cares about right now.

maybe you read his answers in other replies. and then you will find out.

sounds strange and how would anyone be able to show past experience when he is

new to this?

i would guess its an error on their part. maybe they want to see confirmation of booking and paying a 6 month course now.
