How can I select my current visa subcategory when extending my visa exemption in Chiang Mai?

Brian *********

I would suggest just going, tell them why as you enter the grounds. They will show you where to go, point you to the table where the form is and if you botch it, they'll help you. Good folks in CM.

Should I correct the end date on my visa application regarding my health insurance?

Brian *********

My insurance was issued BEFORE my visa as it was required for the visa, visa activation happened weeks later. No problems at all. Not thinking it's important. 🤷‍♂️

I really think so! And those fees are a big ask for many of these people. 🤷‍♂️

I'm convinced the tourist visa process is a cash collector. I've seen a few examples where people were quite prepared and the interviewer didn't bother to review documents or any details, as though the interview was only an exercise to deliver the pre-decided denial.

Working on a K-1 now.

What should I know about getting a visa on arrival in Laos and currency exchange at the border?

Brian *********

What I said and my experiences were absolutely consistent with the rules making what you expressed a bit questionable in accuracy or associated details. 👌

What should I know about getting a visa on arrival in Laos and currency exchange at the border?

Brian *********

I've crossed the Laos border three times in two different locations. Nong Khai and Chiang Khong. I paid 1900 baht at each location separated by over a two year time period. I always got change! This account seems to be missing a little reality, truth or comprehension. 🤷

Brian *********

Yeah, it was a disappointment when I realized I couldn't even gig for free on my visa. A lot of local musicians gig here and much more live music on average than in the states.
