Hello ,I need up to date advise on getting a 60 day visa at Savannakhet from Chiang mai .

I have tried to get an online appointment at Vientenne but I can’t get into the system to book it even after being in touch with the tech team at Thai embassy

5: next day return of passport .

6: any other travel options I need to know or any other tíos on the journey , visas ,hotels ,etc

3. or 1800B

4. Look for availability on booking.com

5. passport & documents morning of day 1, collect passport with Visa afternoon day 2

6. Visa on Arrival is available at the bridge/border, takes minutes to complete or there's an eVisa option (works out cheaper than Baht or Dollar cash)

it's a good idea to use the consulate in Savannakhet. You could fly to Ubon Ratchathani and take the bus to Mukdahan from there

Sure fly into a country that is in a civil war. Good idea.

don't believe all the hype. You'd never be allowed anywhere close to any distrubance. And, you're only going to the Thai embassy and returning. You're not vacationing in the countryside. I've been there many times. It is safer than you think

Just fly to Yangon Myanmar and use the Thai embassy there. It is very fast, with no waiting. Two days and you're done. There are flights out of chiang mai.

you are aware of travel restrictions attempting to fly into Yangon?

On arrival in Myanmar, foreign travellers are required to present printed proof of travel insurance that covers COVID-19. You will also need to submit a health declaration form, which will typically have been given to you during your flight.

Plus you need to apply for a visa before travelling.

Tourist Visa (TR) - Good luck!

This type of visa is issued to applicants who wish to enter Thailand for tourism purposes.

Required Documents

Passport or travel document with validity not less than 6 months

Visa application form completely filled out and signed

Recent 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm photograph of the applicant

Evidence of travel in and out of Thailand (i.e. air ticket receipt paid in full)

Evidence of adequate finance for the entire duration of stay in Thailand (at least 3-month from the date of opening and at least 1,000 USD per person or 2,000 USD per family)

Proof of accomodation for the duration of stay in Thailand.

The consular officer reserves the right to request additional documents as deemed necessary.

going to the Thai embassy in Yangon is not silly advice at all.

actually yes, there is occasional bombing in Narathiwat and Yala province of Thailand. You better quit handing out silly advice

I would not recommend going to Yangon. There is a civil war ongoing in Myanmar. Every country has issued a travel warning. Your advise is 🤮

I've spent more years there than you've spent in Thailand.

Although in your case, that's not very long.

It's ok. We all know your an expert know it all 🤭

I'm done with you now so carry on regardless

I've been there many times, have you?

I suggest you go read the requirements.

Flying into Yangon is a totally different game than doing a border crossing at Ranong and being restricted to that area.
