its a 4 hour drive from bangkok to border. make sure to bring your driver's license, car registration, passport as there are checkpoints on the way to the border... be reminded that you can not cross the border unless you have a re-entry permit. You friends need to stamp out from the Thai border and cross the other side and stamp in and out also from the cambodian side. (sometimes, even filipinos are being asked to pay "visa" for entering cambodia for short time)... then they need to be stamped in at the thai border again... the whole process will take 1 hour depends on how long the que is

Unless they have done 2 border bounce this year in any land border, they can't do a third border run. They need to get a visa from a Thai consulate.

@Renz ******

everytime my wife does her extension, i always include that letter from my employer. the letter is just a simple note saying that this employee's spouse will apply for a non o visa under his/her visa...

You can try contacting them. I would assume they can speak English.

Vientiane

(+856) 21 6 (between 13.30-16.30 hrs only)

Savanaket

(+856) 41 3

That's the documents you need if you want to piggy back to your spouse's non immigrant B visa. Your marriage certificate should be authenticated/certified by your embassy before applying for a non immigrant o visa. also you need to ask your spouse to request for an "endorsement letter" from his/her employer that says they are aware of you being under his/her visa. (edit: I didn't noticed that Tod already mentioned the letter :)... ) my bad)

great. thank you for this very useful information.

thank you

@Robert ******

. just to make sure i understand it correctly(given that the doctor issued a certification and the immigration allowed it).. does it means they can't give her extension based on marriage? just the extension based on medical reason and she can extend it again based on marriage when she can be able to go by herself to the immigration?

@Tod ********

apologies for butting in, what if a foreigner on an extension based on marriage and need to a yearly extension, but can't go to the immigration due to her last trisemester and can't travel far as per advised by her doctor. can her spouse do the extension for her?

i hope to meet him also someday :)

yes at the immigration office for another 30days (1900 baht fee)
