As long as you pass through passport control before 23.59 on the 10th you will be fine.

As

says. They will send the visa as a pdf file which you need to show every time you enter the country for the validity of the visa. You will get a stamp in the passport for 60 days. Then you leave country and return, again showing the pdf and get stamped in for a further 60 days.

Just print a copy of the PDF and present to immigration when you arrive.

Not sure but I don't think you can use the regular bus from Udon to Vientiane unless you have previously purchased a Lao visa.

@Tom ********
as you say, probably not worth all the hassle for the little extra you may make. It's certainly not easy dealing with Bangkok Bank.

@Stuart ********
thanks for the confirmation. All I need to know now is will it mess up my next visa extension if I close one account and open another, all within the same bank. Will immigration just see it as all the money withdrawn from the account thus breaking there rules even though only for a minimal period.

I was under the impression that a fixed term account was acceptable as you can have instant access to your money. The only penalty if you do withdraw is loss of interest for that year. I know you cannot use accounts where you have to lock your money away for any period of time without access. But maybe I have it wrong.

@Steve *******
the money is already in a bank account and has been for the last year and a half. As I don't intend to touch it I would rather earn a little bit more interest, even though it won't be a lot.

I got my original 90 day non o visa from them about a year and a half ago. Just gave them what they asked for and received the visa within a few days. Good service, no problems.
