Arrival procedures on the Thai side
Shuttle bus at Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge No.1
Arriving by bus (Thai-Lao International Bus Service or Bus)
All buses must go to the leftmost arrivals channel and stop in front of Immigration (windows 2A and 3A), unload and go to the end of the channel to wait for passengers. All passengers have to get off here.
Go to the immigration window (2A and 3A) and present your border pass/passport to get an immigration stamp.
Over time and entry on the Thai side
| Type of travel document | entrance fee | additional hour* |
| Passinhaber | Nothing at all | Nothing at all |
| Border pass holders | Nothing at all | 10 Baht |
*Prices are subject to change without notice.
After stamping your passport/border pass, simply go through the customs channel where the customs officer(s) will sometimes briefly check your travel documents and/or bag(s). That’s it, you’ve gone through all the border crossing procedures. Now just hop back on the same bus and enjoy a short ride to the bus station.
if you come overBusse, takes you to your station about 500 meters away.
Bus stop
if you come overBuses Vientiane – Nong Khai(Thai-Lao International Bus Service) will take you to Nong Khai Bus Station near Phoxai Market, about 5-10 minutes drive.
Tip:Those arriving by Vientiane – Nong Khai bus and wishing to go to the Tesco Lotus in Nong Khai should take a tuk-tuk from the bridge (costs 60 baht or 30 baht in a shared tuk-tuk). The distance from Nong Khai bus station to Tesco Lotus is longer than from the bridge to Tesco Lotus, so a tuk-tuk ride takes longer, although the cost is about the same.
If you use theBus Vientiane – UdonthaniThis service will take you directly (express) to your station near Central Plaza shopping complex in Udonthani.

Arrival by private car

He/she will then give you this form to take with you to Window 5A along with your travel and vehicle documents.

Thai-Lao International buses drop off all passengers at the leftmost departure channel and then proceed to wait at the end of the channel.

Border pass holders (Vientiane or Nong Khai residents) do not need to fill out an arrival/departure form, they simply present their border passes to be “stamped” and payfees.

Departure in private car
Here are the simplified steps you need to follow (in sequential order):
Janela D2
1. Janela D2:Present your passport along with the completed Arrival/Departure form (or border pass for border pass holders), vehicle documents and passports/border passes of all passengers in your vehicle (if any) for ‘stamping’.
2. Window D1.1:As soon as all documents have been checked and stamped, they will be handed over here. The officer will call your license plate when your documents are ready. This is where you pay all exit taxes, including exit tax for your car (table below), exit tax for all occupants in your car, if any (see passenger departure fee above), plus an overtime fee if you leave on weekends, public holidays or outside of business hours.

3. Customs officials and police:After all documents have been released, you must show them to the police and customs officers on the left side of the canal. The police will check all passports/border passes for “stamps” and customs will check your vehicle documents. They then ask to see your car and all passengers in the car.
4. Mautstelle:The stand is about 50 meters from the immigration channel. Drive your car and pay the toll. Have fun crossing the border from Laos to Thailand.
The toll fee can be paid with chip cards or in cash.
The chip card system has been in use for a long time and helps to significantly speed up the toll payment process. Car owners have to buy the cards (about 40,000 kip if I remember correctly and top them up at the booth next to the immigration desks).
Toll:
| vehicle type | Taxa |
| Auto | 5,000 teams |
| Pick-up-LKW, Jeep | 8,000 teams |
