Is the visa application process at the Savannakhet Consulate the same as at the Vientiane Consulate in Laos?
Is the experience at the Consulate in Savannakhet, Laos the same as in Vientiane?
Answer summary
The experience at the Savannakhet Consulate is generally considered to be more relaxed and less busy compared to Vientiane. Visa requirements can vary slightly, especially for different types of visas like the NON-O or tourist visa. Important documents for applying at Savannakhet include a bank statement, hotel confirmation, and a return ticket. The processing time is usually efficient, with many applicants suggesting a two-day turnaround for visa collection if all documents are in order.

if you have all the documents, no problem and fast. Most are not so many people. 2 days for the visa but plan. Hand in papers in the morning and pick up from midday on the other day.

Best option is to start your own topic to avoid confusion with the request in this topic. Visa and Extension of Stay are two total different things.Mark **********

Cheryl **********
on second glance, that form may be out of date 😨
Robert *******
The diffrensce: Extension of Stay based on Marriage you do at your local Immigration Office, there you do not need a Visa Application form but the TM 7 form, Application for Extension of Stay.
Mark **********
This will also do for extension of stay based on marriage?
Cheryl **********
