People going to Savannakhet for visa runs who have previously held ED or Volunteer visas and extensions.

I'm not sure how long Savannakhet have been applying this.

I've just noticed it listed on Bangkok Visa run site.

I've no idea regarding Vientiane as they no longer go there.

Answer summary

The discussion revolves around the options available for visa runs to Savannakhet for individuals previously holding ED (Education) or Volunteer visas in Thailand. There is uncertainty about how long these practices have been in place, but a user pointed out that Savannakhet is now mentioned on the Bangkok Visa run website, while Vientiane is no longer a destination for visa runs. Additionally, there are no reported issues from users regarding visa runs from Savannakhet, and some companies still facilitate trips to Vientiane.

I don't think it's going to be very long until all options for serial visa runners will be gone

so you don't need an appointment if applying for non-o visa? I don't even see anywhere on the Savannakhet thai consulate website to book appointments.

I can confirm that the info is very recent and valid. No issue if you apply for Non-O, but major issue if you are trying to get tourist visa with previous history of many Covid extensions, Ed or Volunteer visa.

The "booking required" is to use the visa run service, not to get the visa in Savannakhet.

perhaps it means a booking is required for the visa run service, which I assumed would always be required, and not a booking at the consulate.

ok. A bit confusing becasue this post specifically says Savannakhet/Laos requires it without mentioning Vientiane. Makes one wonder how trustworthy the other info is that was taken from that website.

Savannakhet doesn't use appointments, that's Vientiane that requires it
