I'm going to Vientiane for my Non O visa tomorrow, could someone please tell me if I've missed something off the booking website because there doesn't seem to be any confirmation or ref number to prove my booking. What's the procedure on arrival? Thanks in advance.
Answer summary
The user is unsure about the visa booking confirmation for their upcoming Non-O visa application at the Thai consulate in Vientiane. They inquire about arriving at the consulate without a confirmation reference number. Other users suggest checking email for missed confirmations, with emphasis on ensuring to have a bank statement ready and possibly showing a screenshot or webpage for appointments if no printed confirmation is available.

I just arrived at the consulate..nobody outside. An hour before it opens and I'm the first one here. The quietest I've seen it in 18 years. There were less than 50 people at the border, now all the van companies go to Savannahaket apparently.
