Do you need an appointment to apply for a tourist visa at the Thai embassy in Vientiane?
Can you just turn up at Vientiane Thai embassy for a tourist visa ( Oz passport)
Or do you have to somehow make an appointment TIA
Or do you have to somehow make an appointment TIA
Answer summary
You cannot just turn up at the Thai embassy in Vientiane to apply for a tourist visa. An appointment must be made online via the official website, as walk-ins are not accepted. It's important to prepare the necessary documents according to the visa type and fill out the visa application form beforehand.

You have not said what your passport nation is?
And what your recent history of staying in Thailand is ??
Those are very important questions...
Especially if you are going to apply for a Thai Visa in any SE Asian Thai Embassy or Consulate.
Suggest you ask a local experienced Thai Visa run service company IF they will take you to get a NEW Thai visa? They will know IF it's possible.
Good Luck 🍀

Best to always use Australia and not OZ. A lot of people on forums may not know what OZ is or where it is. Ok if posting on an Australian forum. 😉James ********
Suggest you ask a local experienced border run service company to take you with return the same day.

rather than getting a Thai Visa, do a BORDER BOUNCE and that gets you 30 days stamp on arrival into Thailand and then can get a 30 day extension of stay at Thai Immigration office for 1900 Thai baht. You can do 2 land BORDER BOUNCE entries EACH CALENDAR YEAR. So you can do one now in 2023 and then in 2024 could do 2 More land BORDER BOUNCE entries into Thailand.

you can either do visa on arrival or fill in everything for the visa on arrival online before you go and there's a different line at the border.Mark *********
@Ryan *******
Thanks Ryan. I serm to remember that Lao visas are brutally large.

the Laos e-visa is slightly more expensive but will save you a full page in your passport vs the visa on arrival in Laos.Mark *********
