Ed visa process in Vientianne

[topswijaya]

Dear all,

One Thai language school says foreigner must get ed visa from outside Thailand. Foreigner with 30-day visa exemption, after getting school acceptance letter, must leave Thailand and apply ed visa, preferably, in Vientianne

 

How long is the Ed visa process in Vientianne?

Apply the morning  of one day and pickup the nest afternoon. See: https://thaivisavientiane.com/#

Hate to go against ubonjoe ????BUT in Vientiane it is NOT turn in one day pick up the next afternoon anymore ☹️

Now they have a THREE day processing <- meaning you turn in your application and pay one morning and then TWO days later (the 3rd day) you pick your passport up in the afternoon. This means if you apply on a Thursday you get your passport back MONDAY afternoon

Also you aren't gonna get IN to the consulate without booking an appointment in advance but joe did link to the appointment web-link

Pay attention to the posted holidays too. This Friday Aug 12 is a holiday SO if you turn in your passport Wednesday this coming week you ain't gonna get it back until Monday

That is new. I wonder if they are really doing it that way.

I have seen no posts stating it two days after submitting the application.
