Does the Thai consulate in Vientiane still offer next day visa collection?
I'm seeing conflicting info on fb and google...does the Thai consulate in Vientiane still operate on next day collection for visas? ( ie. apply Mon morning, collect Tues afternoon)
Answer summary
There are mixed reports regarding the visa processing time at the Thai consulate in Vientiane. Typically, it has been stated that visas take two working days to process. However, some recent accounts indicate that applicants are able to collect their visa the next day, depending on their submission timing. It's crucial to make an appointment via the consulate's website and prepare all necessary documentation correctly, including proof of funds and accommodation.

I'm in Vientiane now, applied yesterday Thursday and told to pick up Monday afternoon. The website has recently been updated for requirements ie in the last week. Proof of funds also included needing to show 3 months of bank statements. And we had a letter from our landlord advising our address but we then also had to print their Thai ID card. FYI.
