If you have never previously had a tourist visa from Vientiane (visible in your current passport) and meet all the requirements, you might get lucky. Your chances are not good, and you should decide what you are going to do if the application for a tourist visa is denied. Since you have already burned your land based visa exempt entries, your options will be limited. Perhaps, spend a month in Laos and then fly from Luang Prabang to Chiang Mai. Trying to enter visa exempt through either Bangkok airport is very likely to result in a denied entry. Would having a history of COVID extensions effect an application for an education visa at a legitimate school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not expect that it would. Let us know if an application for a Non Ed visa in Vientiane is rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of that period has been due covid. With all the "covid extensions" and amnesty. Try doing the same over next year period. Many posts such as this ignoring covid Current threads are about future situation where past few years irrelevant.

There are no queues because they require an online appointment. The visa processing takes two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is often a need to book an appointment three weeks or more ahead (especially if you want to avoid staying in Vientiane over the weekend). Book an appointment early.
