the other way around, he could enter Thailand but probably could not check in for the flight

how would the IO know that next time you visit you will be staying just two months?

@Collywobble *********

no, the rules were previously not enforced but now they are being enforced as there has been no change to the law/rules ;)

I thought so, thanks

1. I’ve heard that visa extensions at Immigration can now only be extended for 7 days instead of 30 days. Is this true?

Not true - this only applies to someone with multiple Visa Exempt entries withing the last year especially by border bouncing

2. If applying for a tourist visa in Laos, is it still possible to get a 3-month visa?

Yes you can get a TR60 which is valid for 90 days and gets you a 60 day entry stamp then a 30 day extension

Does the Thai Embassy sell a METV to non-Vietnam resisents?

You have a legitimate visa, you will have no issues wherever you enter

No not if your visits are not too long so you behave like a tourist holidaying
