Hi all. Apologies but I couldn't find this information below. What are the 'quiet' days at the consulate in Savannakhet? (ie the days when the visa run companies don't all show up) Thanks in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Savannakhet consulate tends to be quiet every day, as visa run companies do not operate there regularly. However, specific experiences show that submitting on Tuesday and collecting on Wednesday were particularly calm days for visa-related tasks.

Every day there is quiet because the visa run companies don't go there.

5 people in the line sounds great.

Just wondering - coming back into BKK on a non-O - do I still need to carry 20k on the off-chance I get stopped, or are there no checks on non-O's?

the other day a friend was up at Savannakhet. He said there were a total of 5 people waiting in line that morning :O It sure ain't Vientiane ;)

I think the reason there's very few people is that they are hard core about the 3-proof-ofz to issue tourist visas where Vientiane isn't.
