Tod Daniels I thought this was the case! That's why I was so confused. But as we know, it's always changing :) Yes, I know what to do now...I just didn't understand how I am suppose to get a year extension without my husband doing it too, since I am piggy backing on his. But, I'll go and ask for the required paperwork now that I know what needs to be done. Thank you!

Thank you! Very helpful. Now I know what to ask/do. :) Take care and thanks again

Thank you, I am (sort of)understanding this whole thing now!

I understand. I didn't realize that it should expire with my passport.

Ok, thank you. How long is the extension of stay valid/good for? And will they need to see my husband's passport?

I understand what you're saying. In my old passport, it was stamped: permitted up until Dec 30. It must have been a mistake on their part originally, because when I went to transfer my visa to my new passport, they told me that my visa is only permitted until Nov 2 (my old passport expiration).

That being said... do I start the whole process over or can I extend my visa until the date my husband's visa expires (Dec 30)?... Thanks Robert!

It was when I transferred my visa to my new passport that they gave me a new stamp stating that my visa expires on Nov 2 (with my old passport). It's confusing. It was at Chiang Mai immigration

Thank you, Mark! Great point. I completely forgot about the Laos visa

You're advice on this page has been tremendously helpful!! Thank you

Thank you for the clarification! Do you know if this also works for the Vientiane, Laos land border ?
