Need advise

My friend is cancelling her work permit and nonB to change into visa exemption 60days (border bounce). Can she do it in vientiane via train 133 (bangkok to khamsavath)? If so, where can she get the entry and exit stamps? Nong Khai station or does she have to go through khamsavath vientiane? Thank you 🙏

I arrived on a TR visa from Canada in November and have applied for and gotten the 30 day extension till the first of February. I will be flying to Vientiane on that date and returning the following day and get the Visa exempt 45 days and then 30 day extension. I thought that you had to fly out of the country and return to get the Visa exempt 45 days and that doing just a land crossing that you would only get 15 days?

Given the new rules i've been reading about, that you must cancel work permit AND work visa THEN leave the country on the same day, does anyone have any experience doing this from Chiang Mai and reaching a land border on the same day?

Mai Sai would be the closest border -- actually 5 hours by bus from CM... Does anyone know when the border closes?

Another option would be Vientiane... It might be possible to fly to Udon Thani and make it over the border there in a single day... Does anyone know when the VTE border closes?

>> it would be preferable to go to the burmese border to avoid paying for a 1 month Laos visa. If going to Laos, may as well stay and request a 60 day tourist visa, as opposed to a 30-day visa exempt (although I hear you have to get an appointment these days!!)

>> alternatively, does anyone know if the authorities will charge a 500 baht overstay if you leave the country the day after you cancel the visa?

THANKS ALL FOR YOUR ADVICES

How many SETV (single entry tourist visa) a person can do kinda in a row?

Has anyone got any trouble when crossing the Vientiane Thai border with the third (or more) tourist visa?

I have two already and am thinking about the third one but not sure if they will give it to me..

Thanks!
