Dear readers,

I am going to Thailand on June 30 and also want to visit Cambodia/Laos/Vietnam. Can I have a visa made at the border? I travel by bus into the country.

Does anyone know how else I can arrange visas for these countries?

Please comment.

Greetings

Jan

    This is possible in both countries.

    $30 USD + 1 passport photo.

    Visa on arrival, both countries 14 days I think.

    Success

    Jan,
    The simplest is to apply for an online visa before you leave for Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
    It is quite cheap, cheaper than booking at the embassy in Belgium or the Netherlands and you do not have to travel.
    This is arranged in 2 to 3 days and you will receive your letter for visa by email.
    Simply hand over your passport and the received letter at the border and you will receive your visa on the spot.
    Good trip

    Hi Jan,

    We also go to Bangkok and Vietnam and have arranged a Visa on arrival for Vietnam through http://www.vietnamvisacorp.com.
    We paid them 60 USD for 4 people and in Vietnam you still pay 25 USD per person.
    You will also receive documents by email to fill in and you can stick a passport photo on it.
    Can you do this in advance.
    Apparently you can also arrange this in Thailand, but they don't do this over a weekend there and you have to spend a few days

    Cambodia and Laos are allowed at the border, you get papers there, only see passport photos.
    Vietnam you need a referral letter, which you can request via the internet, then arrange the rest at the border, also have passport photos with you. You have to enter per country yourself whether you want to use at the border crossing. can get a visa (because for tourists this is not possible at every border crossing, can easily be found on the internet)

    Laos at the border 35Us Dollar . Cambodia at the border … should be 30 Us but Scambodia often charges more at land borders. Pre-Apply for Vietnam.

    Keep in mind that once you cross the border and then go back to Thailand, your visa for Thailand is only valid for 14 days. Enter the country for 30 days by plane and 14 days across the border.

    Herbert's comment, is that correct? So if I fly to Thailand, then get a visa for 30 days and, say, go to Cambodia by bus 2 days later for a one-day visit, then go back to Thailand again, I can only stay in Thailand for 14 days on that visa stay, and the 30-day visa, which I previously upon arrival in Thailand, that 30-day visa is no longer valid?? Please comment.

      That is correct, but it is 15 days “Visa Exemption”.

      When you leave Thailand, your previously acquired days will expire.

      When you enter Thailand as a Dutch/Belgian via an international airport, you receive a 30-day “Visa Exemption”. If this is by land, you will receive a maximum of 15 days of “Visa Exemption”.
      Only if you have the nationality of one of the G7 countries, you also get 30 days by land.
      You can still extend the 30 or 15 day “Visa Exemption” at immigration by 30 days. Costs 1900 Baht.

      Herbert's comment is correct. If you leave Thailand with a tourist visa, it will expire.
      And if you return to Thailand afterwards, you will receive a new visa for 14 days overland and 30 days if you come by plane.
