TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster inquired about booking an appointment for an ED visa in Vientiane, wondering if they should select a non-immigrant or transient visa. The community clarified that a non-immigrant visa should be booked, and also noted essential rules like the requirement for the account to be in the applicant's name and restrictions regarding previous ED visas. Additionally, there was discussion on the timing and implications of applying for a 7-day extension.

Yep you need Non-Immigrant as the choice, BUT heed Ron's warnings about having a previous ED visa from anywhere in the last 12 months and that they need an account in their own name

remember when you apply for a 7 day extension it cancels all the days you have remaining and starts from the day you apply for it. That's why
@El***
said apply for it as late as possible to get as much out of it as you can

as late as possible but not go into overstay is the best bet to get those 7 days.. unfortunately.

Thanks all good now but the extension of 7 days don’t know how soon I can apply as I want to book flights

And if she's had an ED visa from ANYWHERE in the last 12 months, she cannot get an ED visa from Vientiane.

maybe, they will issue a 7 day extension denied stamp to give her a week to get outta thailand BUT sometimes they don't. Only the immigraiton office will answer that question

@Bob *********
better wait for
@T**
to answer that one.

@Bob *********
the visa has to have been issued a MINIMUM of 12 months prior to you applying for the new one.

@Ron ******
I was told after one year she can go back to Vientiane this is not correct??
Ron *******
One thing. She has to have the account in her name. If it's you making the account, it will be rejected.
Ron *******
Non O booking appointment
Ron *******
Yes of course. My mistake.

Sorry! Non Immigrant
