Thanks for your helpful report. Times are changing for those seeking to get a Thai Visa in neighboring countries. Plan carefully.

I’m wondering how this will work out for teachers who will have to make a Non B visa in Vientiane or Savanaket and waiting there 2-3 weeks to get their visa processed and in many cases schools made mistakes with the documents provided,resulting in another 2-3 week trip to Laos.

Strange, very strange...

Savannakhet will be on eVisa as well, same schedule, same conditions as Vientiane.

Interesting to note that you apply online thru the eVisa system in Vientiane then you GO there in person to pay the visa fee in CASH <- you don't pay online like the rest of the countries that use the eVisa system

AND

look at the processing time too 10-15 WORKING DAYS, that's up to THREE WEEKS you're going to be in Lao waiting on that visa to be approved

Thank you for update.
