Did you take new photos especially or did you use an older photo for your new passport and visa application, which you may have previously used for a visa extension or any other visa in Thailand? Today, with this new data-collecting software and fingerprints as a link, they can look deep into your visa history and see everything you have ever applied for in Thailand.

They want an extra password photo because you probably submitted the same photo that is in your passport and that passport is older than 6 months.The requirements for the passport photo are very clear: it must not be older than 6 months. Was that the case?

Okay, I get it. You probably have no choice but to wait. The email address must be correct because it is part of the registration process on the e-visa portal, so it is 100 percent correct, I just remembered.

Try to find the email with the interview invitation as soon as possible. The interview is usually held the next day to ensure you are in Laos. If you don't show up for the interview, your application is very likely to be rejected. You may have provided an incorrect email address. If you can't find the email, just go to the consulate tomorrow morning and ask for the appointment. You may be able to schedule it just after lunch.

I crossed the Savannakhet - Mukdahan border and the slip is in thai letters. I was the only farang for miles around. I guess now it is primarily for the Laotians, otherwise why is it in thai letters

@Greg *******

Look, I have it in my passport. So how can you say it doesn't exist? It's right in front of me, but I don't want to take a photo of it because it was signed directly by the officer. I don't want to post it on the internet.I googled it because you said it doesn't exist and I just wanted to see if it's a brand new thing or if it's been around for a while and it has been around for years

@Greg *******

If you have a visa that lasts longer than 90 days, you will get this slip stapled into your passport. It reminds you and warns you do do the 90 days otherwise I have to pay a fine of 5000 THB and on top 200 baht per day. It's signed by the officer. I googled it and its not new. They are doing it for years

Read under my post. He was in Laos. He had an interview for sure

I assume you were in Vientiane and had an interview. Could it be that the interview went badly?

You will get a slip in your passport when you enter and there is the date stated when you have to do your first 90 days. I just got it 2 weeks ago
