I have just noticed that Thursday is a Thai holiday, im planning on going to Savanaket on Tuesday night to get a visa, does that mean the consular will be shut in Laos on thursday and if so can I hand it in on Wednesay and pick it up on Friday?

Thanks

Check their website, Thursday and Friday are holidays and the consulate might be closed on both days.

Just to make sure, I have a BOI extension of stay, do I need to physically go to the BOI one stop to cancel it or can I just leave the country , get a new visa from laos then come back in with that visa?

Go to the One Stop, some people are questioned at the border and turned arround to properly cancel it. Doesn't happen that much, but does happen!

I believe the One Stop Service Centre will even give you 7 days to leave the country for free, so might be worth it anyway.

Ok, will do,

Is Monday, August 6 2012, a public holiday?

Edited July 30, 201213 yr by tygerstar

There is a pinned item posted in the General topics forum that has all Thai holidays for 2012.

The ones listed for August 2012 are:

2 August (Thur) Asalha Bucha (Puja) Day National Holiday

3 August (Fri) Wan Khao Phansa Beginning of Buddhist Lent

12August (Sun) H.M. The Queen's Birthday, Mother's Day National Holiday

13 August (Mon) H.M. The Queen's Birthday Substitution

So if you're thinking of visa and immigration stuff around those days be aware of the possiblity of immigration and consualtes being closed on those days...especially the one's in red....which are national holidays.
