Site for doing the appointment is here. https://thaivisavientiane.com/#

You have to register to make the appointment. Note the appointment is from 9am to 12 with a queau number.

I suggest you check for available appointments now. It could be 3 weeks before one is available.

Thank u, ubonjoe ;

 

I will return to this thread to report how this making-an-appointment process went for me.

 

Cheers,

I have just gone through the process ;

 

 

 

And, owing to no confirmation having been sent to "My Appointment" Tab

 

of Dashboard within My Online Appointment Account specially given to me

 

as applicant through

 

https://www.thaivisavientiane.com/ThaiConsular/appointment/index
 

I felt need to repeat trying to secure that earliest "Available Slot" that offered as available.

And,- it is still the situation, as I compose this update, that I have no confirmation.

 

I hope that my repeated attempts to get that confirmation does not cause the system to fault me.

 

At present,- I will give the process a few more hours to reply.

 

If still no confirmation,- I will consider sending email to the Consulate explaining my situation.

They send the confirmation by email. Just wait for it.

OK

Thanks for that peace-of-mind.

 

Anyway,- I must say what I feel all along is that the Thai Authorities are excellently nice in their attitude to most foreigners from developed / delapidating ? Europhile countries.

The wording of the website is example of that.

No, ubonjoe.

 

Rather,- the following appears after I click my appointment after logging in ;

 

My Appointment

 

*Please note that for every appointment cancellation it will be 10 days suspension

If you kept clicking make an appointment you may of lost all of them.

There are no hourly appointments.  The appointment is from 9 am to 12 only with a queau number.

[Our Man in the Tropics]

Yes ;

Last night I kept clicking the same button for the same time slot ;

Because,- I had not received a confirmation for what I did on each occasion ;

Same as when I have to keep re-pressing my mobile telephone's "on" button until I get confirmation that it is "on" ;

 

I expect that the system has designed for this occurrence to not deem that particular action as wrongful.

Because, if u do not receive acknowledgement that u completed the selection of available slot it implies that would try repeatedly until u do.

 

However,- if user clicks the button for different time slots repeatedly,- I would expect that the system would find that to be wrongful action by the user.

 

My actions I contend are what a reasonable ordinary person would do in the circumstances [ including having prior noted that changing of dates would result in 10 day suspension ]

 

I did not change the time slot at any stage.

Rather,- I repeatedly tried to secure one particular time slot.

 

I wonder ;

How can I solve this situation now ?

You can only select a day for the appointment. There are no time slots. When you click a day it makes an appointment for that day.

I use the term "time slot" because it explains properly for the reader what the system's official term "slot" means ;

 

And, yes,- I did associate the term "slot" as referring to the day as a totality.

 

I am hopeful that my situation can be resolved to confirm the date I selected last night & had to repeatedly try to get acknowledgement from the computer system that I had indeed successfully [ "according to the system" ] selected the particular slot ;

I am hopeful because in my personal experience & casual observance of Thai Immigration Department in general, & many other government interactions, Thai officialdom is in the main salutary very helpful to good foreigners in solving situations to mutual satisfaction.
