What is the process for obtaining a 60-day tourist visa at the Thai Consulate in Vientiane from Udon Thani?

David **********

Also even with the Air Asia late evening arrival you can make it to the border in time.

It's actually easier and cheaper to get the minivan from the airport to the border than to go into Udon. Because from Udon you have to then take another mini van or bus.

It is well worth the (small) money to pay an agent to get your visa. You don't have to wait in any lines and they will pick up and drop off at your hotel.

Then you can spend your time enjoying the sights. And yes, there are actually some things to see in little Old Vientiane.

What visa should I apply for to live and possibly teach in Chiang Mai, Thailand for 6-9 months?

David **********

Have you looked at the pay? Most government schools pay 25-30,000 Baht a month. Less than $1,000 USD. Some private schools pay more, some around 60,000 baht, especially in Phuket.

Is the new 3-month METV from the Thai Consulate in Milan legitimate?

David **********

Rather than declare this a new type of visa, without any other proof, it seems to be a mistake either in the date, or in the single/multiple part.

Is the 6-month multiple entry tourist visa essentially a double-entry 60-day visa that can be extended in Thailand?

David **********

If timed correctly you can actually get almost 9, yes 9 months out of this visa.

Totally different situation. Those people are CHANGING their visa, not just extending a tourist visa.
