Just wondering if everyone here who submitted their passports got an e-mail from the embassy both when it arrived and when it got sent out? Tracking shows that mine arrived 2 weeks ago, but I never got an e-mail from the embassy saying they received it, so wondering if this is normal or not.

All good. They delivered it the next day. I think it was because my office was closed.

I have a question about a failed delivery attempt from Thailandpost due to not being there while the delivery was being attempted. Will Thailandpost attempt to redeliver the package the next day or do I have to call them to ask them to redeliver. Quite a strange situation because I live in a condo here in BKK and they always drop it off at the office, which was open today, so not sure what happened.

Good question. I just don't know how the rules have changed since pre-covid times. It's really hard for me to find the correction information, but Penang, Malaysia did change theirs to 2 days too, so I'm thinking the same goes for Vientiane now.

I took a screenshot of what I found on their website. I underlined it in gold.

Does anybody here know if the processing time at the Vientiane Consulate is still next day service, or has it been changed to 2 days like they say on their website?

GOD willing, brother. ????

I thought so too before, but apparently COVID extensions and The Emergency Decree are not 100% related. Covid extensions have officially expired as of 24-AUG-2022.

Just been on the COVID extension stuff for the last 2 years. Will that be an issue?

Just wondering if anybody here has gone to Vientiane to obtain a SETV Thai Tourist Visa at the consulate? With all the current COVID situation still ongoing just wondering if there were any issues that may consider this a bad option at the moment.

The state of emergency decree has been extended to September 30th, so anyone who applies on that date or a day before should be good until the end of November. https://thethaiger.com/coronavirus/emergency-decree-extended-by-cabinet-until-end-of-september

I went today (22-JULY-2022) and they didn't ask me for any flight ticket going out. I've been here before the pandemic started and never left. Wondering if I got lucky?
