TLDR : Answer Summary

RTCG Savannakhet has implemented a new online appointment system for visa applications, effective June 4, 2024. Appointments can no longer be canceled once booked, and new appointments can only be made after the current appointment date has passed. The online booking system started accepting appointments from June 1, offering a limited 14-day slot. Comments from members indicate high demand, with early slots booking quickly. Additionally, new requirements are being introduced for Non-O visas, including a 400K THB bank statement.

you need to sit exactly at one minute before midnight behind a computer and then space will be available as they open up slots. For example book tonight for an appointment for 12 July. Keep your passport at hand and be quick to fill in the appointment form!

, you may be able to book if you try in early morning as Tod posted. For example, there was available on 11 July until around 11 am today. 10 July was booked before 8 am yesterday.

Be careful those who are planning to go to RTCG Savannakhet to apply for visas.

Currently all are booked for the first two weeks already. Their appointment system is open for only 14 calendar days slots. There were still available early this morning but all gone now.
