What advice do you have for getting a visa in Thailand, especially regarding queue management and application rules?

@Amornrat *********

ok! I will contact you when I have all the papers done. Thank you!

@Valerio *******

we will announce two more trips in the near future. But in your case Savannakhet is OK, they will ask some question to ensure that you speak and understand Thai according to your level. Nowadays many people worry, but in many cases there is a story of being denied a visa. Last week we got a big complaint from a leading modeling agency why one of their models was denied in Savannakhet. I was shocked too, as paperwork was and still is correct. After checking we found out that it the persons 6th request for a Non B, back to back, had work permit, but did not extend inside at Immigration, just went every 3 month to a different Consulate.....

@Tod ********

I got it! I will go to another consoulate, maybe in Laos or maybe in Vietnam but I'm not sure is a good idea to go by airport...

@Valerio *******

then you are NOT going to get a new ED visa in Vientiane until Jan 4th 2020. You need to go to a different consulate to get it if you need one before then.

@Tod ********

I did the acual visa in 3th January... this is my last extention, after that I have to do a new application

I have also to pass a test to apply, I think is for the Education Ministry

@Valerio *******

as long as you have a FULL year from the date you got the last ED visa in Vientiane you'll be fine using paperwork from Duke to get your 90 day ED visa for the advanced course

Not asked yet, but I will do

Thank you for this info! That's mean I can do in Myanmar (for example) and there is no problems.. Last time I used SWD service to go Ventiane. My intention is to use it again

@Amornrat *********

Thank you!

@Corlene ********

Thank you!

@Valerio *******

just did my kids' ED visas there...

@Corlene ********

Maybe... I don't know... I will try to collect more infos

@Valerio *******

Savannakhet?

copy

Probably some people went there without booking an appointment and they was refuse to do the Non Imm visa and sent back with a 60 days touristic visa...

The Non ED (my visa actually) is a big problem... I'm afraid about that because in Sept I have to do my second Non ED and I'm not sure where I have to go... I'm going to Duke School every day and is everything real and regular but... who knows...

@Valerio *******

another problem that people tend not to read correctly. The news out of Vientiane was that it became difficult to obtain multiple Tourist Visa and some schools had issues with Non ED. Actually the biggest issue is the limitation of 200 people per day. The big Consulate is virtually empty.

you can make appointments here

@Valerio *******

Just copied from their website to make appointments to show they still hand out Non Immigrant visa's Non Immigrant Visa (ວີຊ່າອະນຸຍາດຢູ່ຊົ່ວຄາວ)

You went there by yourself? Or you used an agency?

eng: the fact that you did a Non-B in Ventiane is the proof that they haven’t stop to do it! there is a fake news circulating in Bkk

english please
