Has anyone applied for a Non O Visa online for a neighbouring country's embassy but not in the country yet? I'm going to Laos next week to do my Non O Visa, but wondering if I can submit the application in advance to have it processed quicker.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry was about applying for a Non O Visa online while still in your home country but planning to visit Laos for the application. Responses clarified that applications for Thai visas must be made in person; thus, advance online applications are not allowed. Additionally, specific details about applying at different locations in Laos, like requirements for Savannakhet, were discussed.

Which Thai Embassy or Consulate are you planning on going to in Laos?

Vientiane requires an appointment...

Savannakhet is walk-up.

Suggest you go to Savannakhet and Read the posts on this forum about getting a Non O Visa as Married to Thai.

They do issue the multi-entry Non O Visa as Married to Thai...if you can show PROOF of having 400,000 Thai baht in ANY BANK ACCOUNT...present several MONTHS of your bank account statements.

Nope...you can't apply for any Thai Visa in Laos in advance of your being there in person to make the application.
