I travelled to Thailand in March from the UK for 60 days ( no rule to have visa ) I hope to be back in October and hoping to stay 90 days , can you please advise me on the rules now ( has it changed from 60 days visa exempt ) I know the final 30 days will have to be applied for via the immigration offices or by border crossings , thank you for your time .
Quick question around APEC business card at BKK. Is the fast track lane open post-COVID? Also do they still allow APEC card holder bringing one colleague for clearance?
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

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.
With the changes is it still for STV to get a COVID visa extension. I’ve done the COVID extension 3 times already on top of the initial 9 months I was granted. Thanks
