TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a NON O spouse visa in Laos, you can use a Swedish marriage certificate as long as it is in English or Thai. This has been confirmed by previous applicants who successfully obtained the visa in Savannakhet with their foreign marriage documents.

Is there any difference between the two beside walk in at Savnnakhet and by appointment at Vientiane?

, there are slight differences on what type of visa they issue. You need to check their website, too.

It shouldn't be a problem as long as your Swedish marriage certificate is in English or Thai. At least it was okay before covid. If you want to make sure, try to call embassy/consulate in Laos where you want to apply at.

Thanks. It's in English. So in theory it should be okay. I'll contact both tomorrow.
