Throughout Laos at both the Thai Embassy in Vientiane + Thai Consulate in Savannakhet will start accepting Thai E-Visa applications on 01 January 2025 with 10-15 working days for processing of a Thai E-Visa. The last day for accepting in-person applications at Vientiane + Savannakhet is 20 December 2024.

Again, the Thai Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia will start accepting Thai E-Visa applications on 26 November 2024 with 10 working days for processing of a Thai E-Visa.

Hi everyone!

Do someone have an experience with applying NON-O marriage visa in Laos?

At the moment I stay in Thai with the same visa but single entry with 1 year extention. In March permit will finish.

I would like to open new multi entry visa for not take permission every time when I go outside Thailand. On thai website they write that I can receive only 90 days single entry visa.

So the question is can I apply for 1 year multi entry visa in Laos and do I need to provide any additional docs such as bookbank or it is better to apply for 90 days multi entry visa with minimum package of docs and after 3 months apply for year extention in immigration?

Thanks

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

LAND BORDERS WITH LAO OPEN

The land borders with Lao opened on Monday for entry from Thailand (they've been open to get out of Lao into thailand for a while now)

The two thai consulates in Lao (Vientiane & Savannakhet) are open and running (they actually always were, what closed was the border not the consulate :P )

The consulate is in Vientiane and it requires you book an online appointment to get in the gate to apply for a visa

this is their website,

This is the link to make an appointment

IF you make an appointment and then miss it you're blocked from the system for a month (I think it's a month but it could be just 10 days :P ) what it means though is you can't use that consulate until you're unlocked and can book another appointment :/

The other thai consulate is in Savannakhet (across the river from Mukdahan)

They are walk up service, this is their website

[members only]

NOTE: The thai consulate in Vientiane does NOT issue year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant visas of any type. Just 90 day single entry.

It's the thai consulate in Savannakhet that used to issue the year-long, multi-entry Non-O's for marriage to a thai and raising half thai children.

It does not list that they offer the year-multi Non-O on the Savannakhet thai consulate website, you write year/multiple on the application form and you give them 5000baht. <- That's how it worked before and hopefully how it will continue to work.

At this time no one knows if they will continue to do it as no one has visa run to Savannakhet for one and reported back in yet.

Here is the entry process to Lao

I am going to suvanaket over the mukdahan bridge a will apply for entry visa to Laos there does it take time as I need to be at the Thai consulate by 10
