What is the best time to visit the Thai embassy in Vientiane for visa applications?

Logan Hauser Perhaps in high season that would be possible. Never heard of people.missing out.

You have to wait until they accept your application to get a number go mid week at 9:30 and pick up about 2:30 the next day

Yeah but if u are number 300-400+ don't go early they give passport back in order :)

amazing, like going back in time 10 years ago :) I nowadays use a Lao gsm sim, that way I have reliable coverage

Jacco van Gent My Thai 'DTAC' phone 'Samsung A9' worked in my Hotel.

Wat time they close

Wen u say last minute wat time u mean....?

I went on a Tuesday at 7:45 and was number 54 in line. There is a hotel right across the street from it. Not the cleanest hotel but a very short walk to the Thai Consulate.

Antoshka Anthony Wow, my AIS worked fine as far out from the river like this about ten years ago, nowadays the only place where it will actually pick up the Thai signal is at the river itself, walk about 100 meters out and the signal is gone. You must use something other than AIS for the signal to work that far out, as the family hotel is about 500 meters from the river, I never managed to get AIS to work in that place for the past ten years for sure. Family is not close to the consulate, you need a 10 minutes + taxi ride to get there.

Stay in a hotel near by and go early Ir is a good city. Dinner on the rover Best part is your Thai mobile works. I stayed at the Family hotel it was good value. Not sure how close it is to the Thai Embassy, Take your girl friend, Good holiday break

right BUT if you miss picking up your passport after they stop giving back they cancel your visa in your passport and you have to start again.

If they skip ur number because ur late, i'm guessing it's ok? Just have to go after everyone...?

^what he said (y)

well spotted

@May *******

, I edited it to show thursday

I thought they were there on Monday and Thursday. Don’t they leave from Bangkok on Wednesday night? Just confirming because I told my friend to go on Wednesday morning.

if you show up at the embassy for a visa you're gonna have a bad time ;)

Ah for a tight schedule. Got ya. Makes sense. Yes if headed back to the border that day then would make a big difference. Cheers.

@Rob *********

Why go that early and be the first in the line? What is the advantage?

8 am is the worst time to arrive. You will be so far back in the line. I would get there between 6:00 and 6:30. I was number 6 when I got there at 6:20 the other month. The time before that I went at 8 o'clock and was number 3 hundred and something.

@Tod ********

as you said , depending the day... and maybe wait until crowd is gone ....

he'll be at the end of the line at 8 am

i arrived at 7.30 and was number THREE HUNDRED
