Rob4 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Ok we have an appointment but the school asked if we book another appointment to get back the passport?! I never read about that , and I thought you pick it anyway next day ? Another thing, we have to apply on Friday, pick it on Monday right? (But they say there is a holiday on that Monday 8 April, which in the website of that embassy I do not see as a holiday) . how do we know? And is there a way not to wait the weekend ? thank you.

ubonjoe Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 You do not need an appointment to pick up your passport. You will use the same number given you. Sometimes they do them the same day if they are done just before a holiday. If not you will have to wait until Tuesday to pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob4 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 thanks . So is it a holiday on Monday ? the website says there is no holiday that day (till the water holiday). The chances for same day are very low right ? (Friday is not a good excuse for that i guess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Bangkok Bank calendar shows official holiday that day, also internet confirm that holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Bangkok Bank calendar shows official holiday that day, also internet confirm that holiday. That is already a known fact but it not shown on Vientiane's holiday list or calendar. It is only shown on the appointment website as a holiday. See: http://vientiane.thaiembassy.org/en/embassy/calendar.php Embassies and consulate do not close on every official Thai holiday to balance out the number of days closed over the year since they also close for local holidays for where they are located. Just checked the Savannakhet consulate's calendar and it is shown as a holiday. http://www.thaisavannakhet.com/savannakhet/th/consulate/officehours/index.php?month=04&year=2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob4 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 So if it is a holiday there is a chance for same day? How can you know that in advance? Or only when you give your passport? Can i ask? Saying I need to leave before Tuesday due to a flight? Also , a fast process reduce chances for rejection or increase? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the embassy is closed on short notice for another reason, such as the recent election (advance voting for Thais abroad), they might do that, but not otherwise I'd think.
