Do you need to pay for a visa on arrival when entering Laos by bus?

Michael ********

But a visa is much easier to get in Laos. So the payment for the entry visa is well worth it.

Should I apply for a Thai tourist visa despite being a South African citizen with visa-free entry?

Michael ********

If it "looked strange" then no one from any western country would ever use the 30 day exemption allowance. Do they want confirmed return tickets or only tickets leaving Thailand? If so book some cheap flights to somewhere or fully refundable flights.

Which Thai embassies or consulates in neighboring countries can issue a 60-day tourist visa?

What are the current limitations on the duration of Student (ED) visas in Thailand?

Michael ********

Yes so now it is a lot less years than it used to be so it is ruined for the normal folk. If you are under 50, not married, no children, no job in Thailand, an ED was one of the only affordable and available options. But the system dodgers have to screw it for everyone.....sigh.
