What's wrong with Yangon Thai Embassy booking system? I don't think it's possible to book a slot there due to high volume.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Users are experiencing significant challenges with the Thai Embassy's booking system in Yangon, primarily due to high demand and limited appointment slots available for visa applications. Many people have noted the necessity of staying alert and refreshing the booking page at midnight when new appointments are released (14 days in advance). There are suggestions to book through travel agencies or to try early morning slots. Some users express frustration about the system and remind others to be considerate about taking up appointment slots when many locals require them for urgent visa needs.

Phyo ****

If you have an alternative please don't choose Yangon and crowd out the bookings. Locals from Myanmar need it more desperately and they don't have an alternative. Those who are just visiting Thailand enter with the 14 days visa exemption so most of the visa applicants are applying for medical, education or work. Most importantly the ones who are trying to escape from you know what need it most and time isn't on their side as regulations are getting stricter rapidly. Thank u all for your kind consideration.

I thought agencies were the reason the Thai embassy went down to having bookings open only 14 days in advance with no possibility of canceling an appointment..

I managed to get mine checking the appointment system on a Sunday morning. It wasn’t so early either. Around 9 or 10.

you have to be ON it, and they add the next day (14 days out) at midnight 😮

It was like that when Savannakhet Lao went to the online appt system.

set your alarm, get up at midnight, check the system and keep refreshing the screen the next appt will open (it will be 14 days out) but it will book up FAST

Keep in mind Burmese only get 14 days when the fly in to thailand SO any burmese wanting out of their country has to get a visa from the consulate to come longer than 2 weeks That's why it's booking up
