Are there really no appointments available at the Thai consulate in Vientiane for a NON-B visa until August?

Hi. I am going to Laos mid July to sort an non B visa (currently here under a dependents visa). Paperwork all under control, but looking at the Thai consulate website for Vientiane it looks like there are no appointments until August? Is this right? I thought you could only book them a month in advance… any advice much appreciated… thanks!

Answer summary

A user plans to obtain a NON-B visa at the Thai consulate in Vientiane and inquires about the availability of appointments. They have all necessary paperwork ready but noticed that the consulate's online booking system shows no appointments until August, which raises questions about the booking policy. Commenters suggest that while many dates are booked, there are occasional openings at the end of the month, indicating the possibility of cancellations. They advise to regularly check for new appointment slots.

there's openings for the end of this month and the end of next month, the rest seem to be booked up. It looks like all of August is open and can be booked

There were reports they opened up 2 months at a time a while back

If you can't pick it, it's booked up 😕

All you can do is keep checking back as sometimes people cancel a booking and it comes up again for someone to book.

I think what we're seeing is that due to the inability of anyone to really get a queue for the Savannakhet online appt system that visa run companies are booking all the Vientiane slots up 😕 Dunno really
