What should I do if I made a mistake on my Thai e-visa application?

Hello everyone ,

I am in the situation where I did a mistake on my application for a Thai e visa ( non b visa ).

I have 2 options :

Option 1 : still going to ventiane to pay the fees and try to get the visa even if it might be denied/ rejected because of this mistake ( and loose then 200 e of flight tickets for nothing).

Option 2 : wait until the Thai e visa application online expires after 14 days for not paying the fees at the Ventiane embassy. Then do another Thai e visa application with no mistake. ( I'm just not sure, if they let you do another application after one that has expired )

Did any of these situations happened to anyone here and how did it go ?

Thanks a lot for your helpπŸ™ŒπŸ» πŸ™ŒπŸ»

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is facing a dilemma after making a mistake on their Thai e-visa (NON-B visa) application. They can either proceed to Vientiane to pay for the visa, risking rejection and losing flight costs, or wait for the current application to expire and then reapply online after correcting the mistake. Comments suggest waiting for the application to expire and submitting a new one while in Laos, avoiding unnecessary fees and ensuring the error is rectified.

Option 2 but you have to apply online in Lao anyway. Wait for your original application to expire (14 days), go to Lao and start a new application. No money wasted. Make sure you correct your original error 2nd time round πŸ˜‰

Don't go to pay the Visa fee, once you get into Laos start a new application, submit, copy the generated QR payment code and go pay the fee. Just let the other application die on the order table.

And don't try and cheat the system by not being in the country.

Just so everyone is aware the only reason their application wasn't rejected is because in Vientiane they don't even begin processing the application until you show up and pay for the visa.

The O/P mistakenly put their TM30 and thai address in the "current address" box of the application AND they aren't even in Lao yet ...
