TLDR : Answer Summary
The time taken to obtain a visa on arrival to Laos at Mukdahan can vary depending on the queue at the border. It is advised to arrive early or even the night before if you have a scheduled appointment at the Thai Consulate in Savannakhet. Note that the consulate may be closed on certain holidays, so it's important to check in advance.

Does one need to book an appointment at the Thai embassy in Savannakhet now before travelling there? I thought that only applied to Vientiene?

Ok...hopefully the OP has his answer. Good luck. Commenting closed.

No, only Vientiene. Savannakhet is walk-in only.

FYI ..Savannakhet CLOSED

Monday MARCH 9...

Thai Embassy Vientiane and Thai Consulate in Savannakhet, both in Laos are closed on Monday the 9th due to Communist Holiday (Woman Day).

Yes it takes time to get the visa on arrival to Laos. I don't know how long the line is because it depends on the queue. I recommend buying a tourist visa from the Laos consulate if you don't want to miss your appointment
