TLDR : Answer Summary
The application process for a 60-day visa in Vientiane, Laos typically has a 24-hour turnaround. You should apply before noon on the first day and can pick up the visa after 1 PM the next day. It's advisable to visit the consulate early, and be aware that both Thai consulates in Laos are closed on certain days due to holidays.

In Vientiane - Laos - Application closes about Noon 1200 - if you can get there before much easier to be confident & normally (!) 24-hour turnaround - pick up after 1300 next day - I leave Bkk on train about 2000 - Day 1 - train at border 0700 - so - visit Consulate am Day 2 - collect Day 3 - 1300 or after - good luck

I'm not quite sure what you're asking
@Chri*****
, :/ BUT lets see if I can answer you

ALL extensions of stays are 1900baht no matter the length of time they are issued for and no matter what visa they're issued on

Overstay fines are 500 baht a day and they cap out after 40 days at 20K baht.

Pick up AFTER 2

After 13:00. They give them back in the order they received the applications the previous day, you get your queue number at the time of application which should give you an idea of when you'll get it back, they go through them at a rate of around 200 an hour.

Umm keep in mind that both thai consulates in Lao (Vientiane & Savannakhet) are closed Monday and Tuesday next week.
