Hello all!
I will start studying Thai in October. I am currently on a TV (Norwegian passport), and my permitted to stay date is October 16th.
My school papers to take with me to the embassy in Vientiane to apply for an ED-visa will be ready for me 30. September, so I have to go to Laos somewhere in the timeroom 1-16 October. However, when I log on to thaivisavientiane.com, I only get "no available schedule" when looking up dates in the beginning of October. I have read in this group that available slots for dates open about 30 days before, so I'm surprised that not even the first 10 days of October is available for booking yet, since it’s the 10th of September today.
I would really like to get my appointment sorted soon, so that I can book my flight and have stuff sorted. October is coming in quickly.
Anyone know if I'm doing something wrong which is why I don't see any available slots, or if anyone knows when the available slots for the first few days of October will be open for reservation?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking information on appointment availability for applying for an ED visa at the Thai embassy in Vientiane, as they need to travel to Laos between October 1st and 16th. They are concerned because no slots are currently visible for early October, despite knowing they should open approximately 30 days in advance.
