Flashermac Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 You can get a 30-day tourist visa on arrival. If you're going to be going in and out, that's the easiest. You can extend it 2 weeks (I think) at Bangkok Immigration, if you need to. Laos makes you pay for a tourist visa. I paid 1,000 baht a couple of years ago, but I think it may have gone up a bit. Don't know about Vietnam. Haven't been there since 1970. I didn't need a visa then. p.s. If you did get a longer visa, you'd have to pay for re-entry permits or lose the visa when you left Thailand.

colorwolf Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 los: visa on arrival viet: get visa in advance, quick and easy in bkk (Bt1500 or less) or vientiane; even quicker and easier in phnom penh lao: visa on arrival (unless crossing at "odd" border crossing) cambo: on arrival enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian2 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 That's pretty spot on. It may be easier to get your Viet visa in Australia through your travel agent than waste holiday time at embassies or consulates in Asia. I traveled with someone on a similar trip once and he had Lao, Vietnamese and Cambodian visas in his passport courtesy of his travel agent all ready to go. It cost him a bit more but he never had to worry about them. Saved him time at entry points as well. (Or it would have if he hadn't had to wait for me).

passingthru69 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Ok question, I goofed in my leave date from LOS. 3 days over my 30. Should I try and get a visa here in the states before I go or can I get it LOS after I arrive?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyinEwa/Perv Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 You can extend it for a max of 7 days once you're here but it's like 1900 baht or something like that. Might be better to get a 60 day tourist visa before you leave to go to Thailand. Or you could do an overstay (which I am certainly not promoting) for 3 days. 1st day is no fine, days 2 and 3 are 500 baht each and payable as you depart the airport. No hassle really unless you're caught by the BiB before you leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passingthru69 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Mightjust do the 60 day thing. Depends on my funds issue,just may stay longer as my work will be slow untill March next year. Over stayed one trip by a day.. Went to Img. in Pattaya.Told them what was going to happen. Man said no problem.. Ok get to airport. they see my passport. Had to go sit in the corner and listen to man talk about being over 1 day. Really it was 6 hrs. no fine,but he made it sound like I was a real bad law breaker.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfastish Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 thats ok thanks ill maybe just do the 30day thing and try to sort as many others out here,thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soongmak Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Just make sure you sort it out before your visa expires. If caught with no visa, they can sent you straight to jail . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
