Hey Lloyd. How about going the other way from Nong Kai? Can a Canadian with Thai Non-O status get a Lao visa on arrival in Vientiane?

Good to know this. Thanks

I did this recently at Udon Thani Immigration. The IO transferred all my Non-O Retirement stamps to my new passport and initialed them

It was a pretty detailed process and the fee was 500 baht-to me it was a very reasonable fee for quite a bit of work. I was a happy camper.

@Brent ******

okay

@Brent ******

A hint. Get the letter while you are in Canada. Check to make sure: 1) that the Federal Gov't will send out email letters to you, and 2) that they will send snail mail hard copies to both a Canadian and non-Canadian address.

@Jeff ********

Yes. For good insurance nred at least $50,000 coverage

Too true! Self insure I guess!

I wonder if it is good insurance and would cover an oldie like me of 76?

Hi James. I have a question about this. My Canadian friend is arriving in Bkk from Canada mid-January 2024. She wants to stay 60 days. Can she get this on arrival or is it only 30 days? I looked at a Thai Immigration website and I believe I saw that if she went to a Thai Immigration office in say Hua Hin she can only extend it for 7 days. Is this correct or could she extend it for 30 days? Thanks very much for your thoughts and advice.

Hi Sharon. My Thai wife and I live 6 and 6 in a small Udon Thani village and in our Vancouver apt. We built a house on our rice farm on 2015 and got married there in 2017. While there we travel a bit around the country as well as the rest of SE Asia. Apart from our home in Udon though we spend most of our time in Hua Hin which we love. A good move? Yep. No complaints.
