TB Immigration Info Letter 017/19 – Thai Embassy in Vientiane
Posted in Immigration information letter
Tags: Borderrun, Laos. , Thai Embassy, Vientiane
Long wait in Vientiane, Laos, announced
Due to large crowds and a lack of staff, people now seem to have to make an appointment, online, with a processing time of two weeks. This announcement is in the media. If this is true, you should therefore start the application early

Thanks Eric.
I had also read a few times that you now have to wait at least 14 days for an appointment. And then for a simple “Tourist Visa”.
Due to the large crowds, they have introduced that appointment system, but that seems to cause even greater waiting times.
Note: “Reactions are very welcome on the subject, but limit yourself here to the subject of this “TB Immigration Infobrief. If you have other questions, if you would like to see a topic covered, or if you have information for the readers, you can always send it to the editors.
Use only for this www.thailandblog.nl/contact/. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation”

Well, I can only share my personal experience: I logged an appointment on February 20 for February 27 between 11 and 12 and received serial number 034. On 27\2 at 10 am I entered the embassy with the printout of the serial number and all necessary photocopies. Passed the sharks you wish to help!
Processed and approved at the embassy within 30 minutes. Went back in at 09am the next day. At the presentation the serial number was 022, we waited until it was number 034's turn, the 1000 Bht was paid, received a 60 day visa and stepped outside. There are always Indian stories, but I only believe what I have experienced myself.
Regards, Lanyrinth
Here I can only share my own experience. After expiration of 60d + 30d visa I needed a new 60d visa. Faster than Cambodia is Vientiane Laos. A friend of mine who works at the Tourist Police in Udon Thani made it clear that since February 1, an appointment has to be made via: www.thaivisavientiane.com. On February 20, I make an appointment on the site for February 27 between 11 and 12 p.m. I receive the serial number 034 online, which I need to print out or save on a tablet or mobile phone. Fly to Udon Thani and cross the gens, Laos visa etc. On February 27 at 10 am I enter the Thai embassy with all the necessary photocopies, completed application and passport photo. Before the gate of the embassy, I blow and wave away all potential administrative aid sharks with the printed online appointment with serial number. Walk in visa applicants are refused by security. About 15 people in front of me, documents are OK and I receive my collection document for the next day. No 30 minutes between walking in and out of the embassy. The next day at 09:15 am I enter the embassy with my collection document and on call they are at number 022, wait for number 034 to appear, pay 1000 Baht and receive passport with a new 60 day visa. No 15 minutes between walking in and out of the embassy.
Be aware of the wild Indian stories circulating from those who have heard it told from afar with many intermediaries. Well this is my personal experience and perception of the new fact.
Don't be bothered by the sharks if you are properly and well prepared.
Greetings, things are sometimes simpler than the stories,
Labyrinth
Labyrinth, the person who went 3 days after you had number 250 of the available 350 per day and, once inside, was quickly ready and three days later (a weekend was in between) all papers were finished. So it can go faster than the expected two weeks, but it can also be against.
It is important that everyone knows that you have to book online; if you are there without an appointment, you will not come in and then it will cost a hotel for xx days…
Labyrinth,
What the article is about is scheduling the appointment.
It has become quite busy in Vientiane lately because there are so many applications.
Because this creates long queues, an appointment system has been introduced since February 1. This is to limit the number of people per day.
The article only states, article is from March 4, that it can take up to 2 weeks before you can schedule an appointment (not that you have to wait 2 weeks for your visa to process it) and that you should take that into account .
That does not mean that this will always be 2 weeks. Could also be 1 week or 1 day, but maybe also 3 weeks. Depends on the number of requests.
What does that report have to do with Indian stories….
