Sawannakhet best day & time


Recommended Posts

Sorry if this has been done before, I checked a few threads but couldn't see it.

We will be staying in Mukdahan and going for a Thai wife visa in Sawannakhet in early August. 

 

We have the paperwork, but unsure on which day is best to apply though not a Friday. Any advice also what time to get in line early or later on?

 

I would prefer not to wait in a huge line if possible.

 

Many thanks.

Tuesday and Wednesdays are the least busy days. Monday and Wednesday is when the visa run vans are there.

Edit: Avoid Tuesday the 13th since the vans will be there that day since the 12th is a holiday. Only Wednesday will be a good day that week.

It's all a gamble but Wednesday has been OK..

Thank you very much, do you guys suggest to get in line  7am ish or 10ish? Do they give queue tickets or anything now?

Just we will check in to our hotel around 2pm.

Many thanks again.

The gates open at 9 am. If you go on one of non busy days being there by 8:30 should get you in out in a short period of time.

They issue queue numbers.

I just did a 1 year multiple entry-O two weeks ago in Saw. We drove up on Monday, got to Mukdahan around 430 PM, parked car in the overnight parking and crossed border. Tuesday morning, arrived at consulate around 830 AM. Consulate opens at 9:00 as already been mentioned. Waited in line all but 15 minutes once they opened, 1 minute at counter. Paid the 5,000b. Next day ( Wed.) picked up PP at 2:00 PM which took all but 5 minutes. Done and dusted.
