thank you.Brandon ************
Make sure you're aware, an appointment is required for the Thai consulate in Vientiane. Without an appointment you won't even get past the front gate.

I’m going to be applying visas for my kids not for me or my husband. Do you know if i need to make an appointment for just the kids or I need to have an appointment made for my husband and I too?Brandon ************
@Dylan *******************
I would assume only the kids but that's just a guessDylan ********************

Line out the front Lak40 is cafe. There are also print, copy, photo places across the road and next to the cafe if you need them. All locals will ask - do you have form, no walkins
Ali ********
Inside Embassy - everyone sits in line you just go up when person in front is finished

yes I made an appointment for each of my kids but it doesn’t show the location address. It just says Your appointment is on Mon 08, January 2024 from 09:00 - 12:00 at the Consular Section of the Royal Thai Embassy, Vientiane, Lao PDR.
Please Print or Show this email message once you get to the Consular Section of the Royal Thai Embassy, Vientiane, Lao PDR.

Bus info if interested. Note - you can only buy bus tickets on the day of travel (ridiculous I know) I was able to buy the 8am ticket the day before.When facing Bus Station ticket office is on the right outside of station on the corner.
Also, you will need 10,000 kip at border per passport (no idea, foreigner charge?!)

well better to be safe than sorry! I would’ve done the same. Especially since everyone asks - do you have form? Do you have form?Dylan ********************
OP@Ali *******
thanks. Just to make sure. I made appointments for all of us 6 appointments in total.Ali ********
@Dylan *******************
sorry I’m not sure. I can only say that there was a couple with two kids at the Embassy, while I was there, the Dad looked like he only had one appointment sheet for the 4 passports - and all of them went up to the counter.Ali ********

thank you. I didn’t know they hold passports. This is the first time we are doing this.Ali ********
@Dylan *******************
I would definitely wait until you have all visas and passports (they will hold all of your passports for the 2 days) back in your hands before booking flights.Also, flights are way cheaper from Udon Thani than Vientiane. You can catch an international bus (2 hours) from Central Bus Station in Vientiane (80 THB each) to Udon Thani.

OP@Ali *******
do you think we should book a return ticket or wait until we get approval for the kids visa to book a flight back to Thailand?Ali ********

Hey Dylan I’ve just been there a couple of days ago. Here are some tips.
There is no shade take an umbrella - I was waiting in line for 45 minutes both days. You have to show the appointment form as you go in. The appointment time does not matter! So you can get there at 8.30am, but it will not open until 9am on the dot. You go inside and sit on chairs (in another line) numbers are not called out. Just first in first served. There were only 2 counters open, and on one day only 1 counter (guy on number 2 counter is known to be grumpy - he got angry at me for not giving appointment form to him first - it’s him not you!)
Good Luck! If you have a baby people are kind and will let you go to the front of the line.

Urgh! (Tuesday) They wanted a Police Check for my Education Visa - which I got, went back next day (Wednesday) to give certificate, waited in lines again only to be told they were too busy come back next day (Thursday) (the day I was told to collect my passport) so I thought it wouldn’t be approved - handed in the Police Check - guy (Counter 2) snatched it, didn’t even look at it and gave me passport).You will get a ‘collection notice’ for two days time saying collect passport between 1.30pm - 4pm, I started lining up just before 1pm. So the same situation but the line got very long, very fast - first in first served. And it’s hotter! Be prepared, have everything ready on day one, a lot of people were still fill out forms on a table inside - there is a great cafe Lak40 next door with toilets and WiFi. There are also toilets in Embassyz
When you go to pick up passport just hand the notice to them and they will give you back passport. Once inside the embassy the seating area is covered, but passport collection line went back to the gate so people were standing. It will be a long time for your little ones! My thinking was Id rather wait 30mins before than who knows how long once gate opens, glad I did

wow this helps a lot. Yes I have a baby 6 months old. And 3 other littles. 2, 3, and 7 years old. Why did you have to wait in line both days?
