Is the Thai embassy in Laos operational and what is the processing time for a tourist visa?

Okay just so EVERYONE is on the same page in the coloring book and we're all using the same box of crayonz 😛

At the thai consulate in Vientiane they have a THREE WORKING DAY processing time including the day you turn in the application (apply-Mon, pick up-Wed) so by working day I mean weekends and holidays do not count

At the thai consulate in Savannakhet they have a TWO WORKING DAY processing time including the day you turn in the application (apply-Mon, pick up- Tues) and again by working days I mean weekends and holidays do not count.

Pay attention to the holidays 🙂

Not to be rude or facetious

@Stephen ********

but when was the last time you were at the thai consulate in Vientiane that had 2 day processing time ?

The Vientiane consulate has had a 3 day processing time with mandatory appointment booking since before the Thai/Lao border closed in March 2020 and it's ONLY Savannakhet has walk up service with 2 day turn around.

Which Thai visa are you applying for in Laos ?

And just so you know those consulates have been open (even thru covid) it's just no one could get IN to Lao or back in to thailand to use them 😛 They've been running okay since Lao opened up no issues at all

At the thai consulate in Savannakhet you only need to show the 20K baht in the bank on the date you apply (no 3 month statement or anything) and it is walk up service, with two day turn around <- example; turn in your passport on Monday morning, get it back Tuesday afternoon;

At the consulate in Vientiane you need to have 20K baht in a bank account for the last 3 months AND you need to make an online appointment or you can't get in the gate to apply. They also have a 3 day turn around, <- example; turn in your passport on Monday morning, get it back Wednesday afternoon;

there are two thai consulates in Lao that sell visas, The main one in Vientiane and the one in Savannakhet, What one are you talking about
