@Viviane ****

u didnt mention that before...

i guess no one will be able to answer your question as it depends on many factors. in general i would say no need to worry. there people with way more entries every year without a problem.

and its a new year..

good luck

so why should u be denied?

both is possible. there is always no guarantee if u do a border run that they will let u in. but rarely happens and mostly to people who did this way more pften than u did

use wise

easy, cheap and fast

@AliJames ****

3000 is really cheap. it will take1-1 hour to nakhon phanon (passing the border) and from nakhon phanom to the airport at least another two hours.

only cars with a special passport can cross the border and most probably the driver wont find anyone for going back to thakhek.

if u want it cheaper just take the bus and sleep one night in nakhon phanom. that should be under 1k

luang prabang is beautiful. 40 usd for your visa on arrival and i guess your wife gets a visa exemption

@AliJames ****

no. no loca app in thakhek and even if most probably the car wouldn't be allowed to pass the border

this is a tour operator in thakhek. maybe they csn BL tour +856-20 9444 0050

i know another driver who does airport transfers from thakhek but he might charge 100+ usd

they always asked for usd. the visa fee is announced on all official websites in usd. nowhere its stated in baht. ofc they accept thb but the amount isnt equivalent to 40 usd.

and it was like this already ten years ago when i came to laos the first time.

dont complain if u havent done proper research before u go

Michael Dawson yes thats what the post is about

its important that she can either prove to have enough money or u will have to prove that u can pay for everything and that she had reason return to thailand (working contract (is the best), family, other duties). they are mainly afraid that no one can pay for her and that she wont go back.. (strange thinking)
