My first 6-month tourist visa is now almost over.  I've decided to go to Cambodia instead of Laos to get a new 6-month double-entry tourist visa for LOS.  Taking the bus with a buddy from Bangkok to Poipet, then to PP  ....

Is getting a cambodia visa at the border a problem (US passport)?

Any latest updates on problems re: double-entry TV for LOS at thai consulate in PP?

much obliged

I doubt you'll get a double entry tourist visa in Phnom Penh, especially now that they're free. I know of one agent who organises visa runs from Pattaya that appears to be successful getting double entries, but I have not tried them personally.

If I was you I would go to Vientiene where you chances are high.

You were abs. correct, tropo.    I got a single entry.  

Turned the passport in on tue, got it back on fri; offered to pay extra for same day service, but was told that that's not done.  There were no touts around.

A couple agents (in almost any hotel, they offer these services) said they'd get me next day service for $20.   But because of their uncertainty about the double-entry, I decided to do the whole thing on my own.

I won't be going back to Cambodia again.   The only thng I liked was the Angkhor dark beer - best darkie ever!!!!

If I need another visa, its Ventiane next trip.

So, since my current tourist visa  is single entry, after the 60 days in LOS are over, can I exit/reenter at Mae Sai as before and get another 60 or do I have to go to Immigration CM, pay 1,900 and get a 1-month extension?

Thanks much

You can:
1. Go to Immigration and apply for the 30 day extension.
2. Exit/re enter the country and get 15 days.
3. Apply for another Tourist Visa at a Thai Consulate.

Your Choice.

Sounds like you should have got an earnings statement six months ago and extended your retirement visa for 1,900 Baht. Oh well, too late now. The earnings statement is only $30 or 900 Baht and a photo 100 Baht. You even have a US consulate in Chang Mai. Of course a re entry permit is another 1,000 Baht, but much better than visa runs in my opinion...

Best of luck, Jimi

Thanks Jimi, wish I knew that before, it is the easier way.

The US Consulate just  raised all their prices, by the way. Now, it's $50 for an earnings statement. $50 to stamp and sign a piece of paper! A bit over the top in my opinion...

Need a bit further help  ..


My tourist visa expires on October 7.   I used up the last extension for 1,900 Baht.  

I had a flight reservation for Oct 7 to leave LOS, but now have to change it to October 13.     So I need to be here a few more days.

Instead of doing the 6-month visa at Vientiene can I just stamp out and in at Mae Sai and get, I believe, 15 days?  I'm still in chiangmai.

Thanks for your continued help and advice.

Yes, that is possible.

Another possibility is to get an additional 7 day extension of stay for 1,900 baht from immigration. You would need to show your ticket to confirm that you will leave the country within those 7 days and there is no guarantee it will be aproved. Also bring a photo.

Thanks Mario.   Understand the 1,900 at Immigration but just want to confirm that Mae Sai is as easy as stamping out and then in?

sorry for asking twice, just don't want to get stuck on a formality.

Thanks

Yes, leave Thailand, enter Burma, leave Burma and re-enter Thailand. You will have to pay for entry into Burma.

Do you have the option of using an Embassy Notorial as proof of income???? If it is an OA you can get a multiple reentry permit good for 1 year from your last entry!

Simple as hair pie!  Just go to Immi and get some forms. When that reentry permit is almost done you'll need to jump thru thru the extension of stay process.. Similar to that of you OA  with less junk...i.e. no med, no police paper etc.  With that you can get another multiple reentry permit...  Hair Pie again!
