Curious, any experience with flying into Vientiane with a 5 year Thailand blacklist stamp in your passport? I received a 5 year blacklist stamp on March 29th, 2019 in Nong Khai. We were moving to Vientiane, I exited Thailand without issue, but was refused entry into Laos, forced to go back to Thailand where I was detained and deported back to Canada. The police in Nong Khai said it was only because I travelled via land that I was refused entry, and if I would have flown into Vientiane, I would have been granted entry. My passport is just a 2 year limited validity passport, and I tried to have a new one issued here in Canada, but since it was more than 12 months validity, they refusse to issue a new passport until February of next year. Not sure why, but basically because they’re <deleted>. I need to somehow get into Laos. I was curious, any experience with flying from a western country like Canada to Vientiane with that Thailand blacklist stamp in your passport? If I try, will I just be turned away at the border again, and once again deported back to Canada? Or will I be granted entry for 30 days? If I can get to Vientiane, I have a 1 year business VISA lined up, and by the time that expires, I will have a new passport without the blacklist stamp. Any past experiences from others will be extremely helpful.
