Good afternoon all,

This question is for the South Africans in the group. I just found out that South Africans can no longer obtain any type of Visa from Savannahket, I use to get my 1 year non O Multiple entry from there. 

Does anyone have any experience applying for the Non O at Vientiane? 

Do they issue Multiple entry visas there?

Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user seeks advice from South Africans in the expat community regarding the recent difficulty in obtaining visas from Savannahket, particularly for the Non-O Multiple Entry Visa. They ask whether it is possible to apply for the Non-O Visa in Vientiane and if Multiple Entry Visas are issued there. The responses reveal that Vientiane only issues single entry visas but note that a multiple re-entry permit can be obtained for those frequently leaving Thailand.
