All thanks for the information. I meant to say 60 day visa. As for why Vietnam, I realize I could get the visa for less by other means, however the family wants to travel there and I haven't been there myself.

I'm planning on flying into Ho Chi Minh City in March and applying there for a 90 day tourist visa, my second 90 day visa. I've already made my visa application appointment and downloaded their application form and I have the list of documents they want. I also see that they say it will be two business days to receive my new visa. My question is, does this mean that when applying on Monday I will receive the visa on Wednesday? Also wondering if there is anything else I should know regarding getting the visa in Ho Chi Minh City. I do know I will need to get an evisa for Vietnam (USA citizen). Thanks.

Thanks for the info, the family wants to fly to Vientiane for a few days so looks like I'll update my visa at the Thai embassy there. Thanks again.

I'm new to the visa run thing, and need to get my visa extended mid December (US citizen). I see a number of you are doing a Laos land crossing and turning around and getting a new visa on entry into Thailand. What does this get you, another 30, 45 or 60 days? I have been considering flying to Vientiane, go to the Thai Embassy there and get a 60 day visa. Looking at different websites I've seen recommendations on applying for a Laos visa online, the other option is to just get a visa on entry when I arrive at the airport. Does anyone have any experience / recommendations on either option?
