Hi all. Just a couple of simple questions..... I went to Vientiene to obtain a TV around 6 months ago and im sure I remember applying in the morning and picking it up in the afternoon.... I cant remember 100%. Either way does anyone know if this is still the case? Or is it next day pick up?

Also what is the latest you can apply in the morning? Just trying work out flights and stuff...

Anyone ever used the agents outside for a same day service and if so, how much?

Many thanks

It has always been next workday pickup in afternoon. Apply before 1200 I believe but there have been days when after 11 none accepted due to too many applicants. Do not believe that is currently an issue most days.

The Consular Section of the Royal Thai Embassy in Vientiane is open from Monday to Friday. Visa application form could be submitted from 8.30-12.00 hours only. Visa applicants will get their passport back in the afternoon of the following working day. Passport collection time is from 13.00-15.00 hours. Please be informed that the Consular Section is NOT located within the premise of the Embassy at Kaysone Phomvihane Avenue. Its address is at No.15 Ban Ponesinuan, Bourichane Road, Vientiane Capital (near Lao-Singapore Business College).

Lopburi I know your the expert (you have helped me before), but every time I have gotten my TV in Vientiane 2-3 times I applied in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon. Both at the old place and new. Anyway I'm here in Vientiane now to get another TV so will let you know.

I have been there a few times and it was always ready the next day, never on the same day.

Yes, apply in the morning and collect next day PM.

Ok just got back from the Thai Visa office. To reconfirm I have ALWAYS received my passport back the SAME day not the next day. That said it went differently today I was told to come the next day which is Monday to pick it up. IMO this has nothing to do with overload as I was the only Farang there ! That's right the only Farang. No line and only a few what looked like Laos. This has to do about getting you to pay the touts 2000 baht for next day service (which who will do when there is nobody there) and 4000 baht for same day service which of course at least half of this goes to the Thai staff. It doesn't bother me too much as I did it myself for free and will gladly spend a nice weekend in Vientiane.

Do you always get a multi-entry TR visa from Vientiane or is it sometimes a single entry?

same day pickup in vient? Never,, no way no chance

Always been able to get double entry. Once they asked to prove I had enough money (bank book) which I had, but don't think they care about that anymore.
