Any idea if Chiang Mai immigration will be closed this Monday?

And if our SETV expires on Sunday, we'll face no penalty for going Monday morning, correct? (of course I realized this at 2:30 on Friday afternoon)

If you talk about the enter before / valid until date on the SETV you are already 30 days late, I hope you mean your Admitted to Stay date is Sunday 9-12-2018. Yes, if the immigration office is closed due to weekends or holidays you can go the next working day without getting fined.

Thanks Tod. Btw, the Bali one might have different opening hours and holidays since it's a honorary one! I was last year there and there was nothing on the website announcing in advance but was closed for nearly 2 weeks!

As this page is for Thai Visa advice, i only have to guess about Malaysia. It would be very strange that border crossings and airports close other than their normal closing times during night due to holidays.

We were planning to travel by bus from Singapore to Malacca on 31 December. Will there be an immigration checkpoint open when we cross over into Malaysia on this date?

Let's say we went to Vientiane on the 4th and did our application. Would we then pickup our passport on the 6th? Is that an option?
