5. Go Vientanne, Laos and get a SETV 60 days + 30 days extension. I think in 6-8 months you will get problems if you come back for 30 day exemptions only.

So if you can get a SETV at your home country + SETV Laos your covered for 6 months already.

Same issue. Went to immigration told the situation. I had to bring copy ID landlord and copy blue book, not sure if the name is correct about last item. Landlord did sent it through Line and got a tm27 so i didnt get fined. I did my part... me happy... immigration happy... everyone happy

**UPDATE METV - Netherlands**

My METV was approved and only had to show 5500 euro on my bank. No questions or anything about a 6 months period. I also booked a return ticket BKK- VN in the first 60 days. No travel plan or declaration form or any question asked.

@Jose*****
btw can you let me know how it went. How many days you take to arrange the METV before you leave? I wanna get most days out of it but not want to wait till last week.

@Jose*****
yes, Dutch embassy website says I have to include a travel plan. On the Thai visa website there is nowhere to add this, ... but I am prepared if they will ask me later and think they do.

1. no, because you didn't apply for an actual visa ever before. Exemption is not a visa.

3. on the actual visa website you don't have to include this in the required docs as far as I know. Was also looking into this last week. But later they will come back with some extra requirements if needed by mail. Had this with a SETV.

I think there is no direct bus to Vientane or Laos border from airport UD. Just cabs... But if you take transport to the center (15 - 25 min/150-200 B or maybe Grab) you have 2 options. Busstation (close to Central SM): direct bus to Vientane. Keep in mind you need a Lao visa in advance. Mini van bus station (next to Central SM): minivan to the border of Laos 55 Baht. From the border you can take a bus or taxi to Vientane.
