ORIGINAL POSTER!!SOS!!
In need of help, I was planning on going to Laos today through an agent from Pattaya for a non O visa.
I’ve just checked my line and I have a message saying the minivan is now full. This has been booked for a week or 2 now and my visa is good until tomorrow.
Any agents have any spaces in Pattaya.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user urgently seeks help with traveling from Pattaya to Laos for a Non-O visa due to their booked minivan being fully booked. Several commenters suggest alternatives such as taking a bus or van to Mukdahan in Thailand before crossing into Savannakhet, Laos, where they can apply for a multi-entry Non-O visa based on marriage. Recommendations include using local transport options and considering the easier visa process available in Savannakhet compared to other locations.

Get to Jomien 5th soi and they will likely give u a one month visa when you explain.

you are incorrect :/ He has a 90 day Non-O visa and you can't get a 30 day extension on that. He could have gotten a 60 day extension based on marriage to a thai though.

As Recommended already -- it is easy to take a Van or Bus to Mukdahan Thailand -- Cross over the bridge and get to Savannakhet Laos... No need for a service... If you have all the required documents then it is not be a problem Thailand Consulate in Savannakhet has processed thousands of Non O Multi Entry for Marriage

What is the reason you're applying for a 90 day Non-O visa? Marriage to a thai, over 50 (retirement) raising kids, volunteering, etc?

I’ve heard that a lot. Savannaket, for a non O multi entryTod *********
@Lukus ***********
, then I'd go to Savannakhet rather than Vientiane because you can get a year long, multi-entry Non-O based on marriage there, and you can only get a 90 day single entry Non-O in Vientiane.Lukus ************
