markt42 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Has anyone managed to get an O visa from Laos or other country neighboring Thailand? I have heard it is possible to do it at Savanakhet Laos. I know flights are slowly coming back from Bangkok abroad but i don't want to get stuck and not be able to get back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 What would your non-o visa be based upon. Savannakhet was issuing multiple entry non-o visas based upon marriage to a Thai. All neighboring countries are closed for entry at this time with the exception of Cambodia but it is very difficult to meet their entry requirements. All border crossings are now closed.

markt42 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 I'm in Phuket and have been since March, on a 30 days stamp so just looking at options if the amnesty is not extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the experts such as ubonjoe are tipping amnesty extension. If it seems amnesty not extended you could apply for extension to your visa exempt stamp (30 days) Borders won't be opening. You should have escape plan for future when amnesty does end which would be fly back to own country. Edited July 8, 2020 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I married to or the parent of a Thai you could apply for a 60 day extension to visit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting Have been wondering about guys in your situation such as oil & gas workers etc. Getting back in currently has several threads running. Nightmare requirements and at the moment is only available for few groups of people. eg PR, Married to a Thai etc. Good luck but currently think you will may find it impossible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
