Vientiane scheduling website down?

This is the correct website to schedule an appointment, right? And I think you have to schedule it 30 days out at minimum. I'm trying to access it for a late August appointment but it seems not to be working. I tried for my Thailand IP as well as a VPN with a US IP.

They could be slammed with applications since the Cambodian border hop is dead.

 

It could be a temporary outage.

 

It could be related to the birthday boy.

 

Try on Tuesday.

Appointment for what? There is no more appointments.  You apply online through the Thai e-visa website, and go between 9-11AM on a business day to pay for your visa.  The only place that requires appointments anymore is Yangon, Myanmar, who require an appointment to pay for your application after you pay online.

Correction, the appointment in Yangon is to pay for your application after you "submit" online.

Boy you're a day late and a dollar short with your information 😕 

There is no appt system for the Vientiane consulate since they went to online eVisa applications only back in Jan 1st 2025 😮 

Now the process works like this

• you go to Lao,
• you log into the online eVisa system,
• you fill out and upload the required fields/documents, including proof you're IN Lao (visa/entry stamp)
• you use the hotel you're staying at as your "current address"
• you use your thai address here as your "permanent address",
• you submit the application,
• you PRINT out the confirmation and take that to the embassy between 9-11 M-F to pay for the visa in cash

THEN

• you wait in Lao until it's approved.

They will email you the PDF which is your visa, print it and hand it to the officer at passport control when you stamp in to the country
