I went the consulate in Vientiane the day after a holiday and it was a madhouse. I had number 350 and there was still a few hundred behind me

Going to Seoul.. But I don't expect you to know that, nor do I expect you to check every embassy. I was mostly wonder if consulates (all) will be closed. However, know some will be closed I will do my best to be there Friday (first available day). They have a 3 day turn around so no matter what it will extend the delay

Next time i'm in Bangkok , I go visit head of Immigration and even the PM. It is not fair that those hard working Immigration Officers at airports and border crossings don't get the same day of as their colleagues in the office. 😈😃
