, I understand now. Thanks.

How long does it take if the Embassy makes a proper passport for you?

@Vil***

, Lao side is easy because people in this group don’t often stay for months like they stay in Thailand. We often just enter, pay a fee and go out, pay a fee and that’s it. Btw I hope you don’t need to apply for a visa to visit Laos but they just stamp in your passport letting you stay for 30 days. Did you check that?

@Vil***

, 700km is quite far. Are the borders in Nakhon Phanom and Mukdahan closer to your place than Phu Doo?

@Vil***

, I’m sorry for my wrong spelling. Here it is

@Pa**

, the foreigner has stayed here for more than 12 months with visa exempt. Had 1 Covid extension. Was questioned recently twice after they saw so many stamps on the passport. No Thai is needed when crossing borders but now it’s better to cross with a Thai 😁😁

Vilmos, in your case, you only stayed for 60 days so I guess that the officer at any border will stamp you in with no question. I live near Phu Doo border in Uttaradit Province and it’s quite easy there. The foreigner always goes with a Thai so they know that the foreigner lives there and doesn’t work without a work permit. If you like, you can take a train to Nong Khai, stay in Vientiane (capital of Laos) for 10 days and come back.

@Vil***

, so Sa Kaew with the border with Cambodia. If you do it, please update what the crossing is like. I think I read in this group that it’s not the border having friendly officers. I can be wrong.

@Vil***

, if your car has its own passport and you have all the required papers, you can drive through the border with a fee. If not, you can park near there and use the public bus or tuktuk to cross the border and back.

@Ni**

, I’m thinking of a border crossing. What border did your Mrs cross by boat? Thank you.
