will the consulate in savannakhet be open?

[banglassie]

Im in Mukdahan at the moment. Found out that it's Rama 5 day tomorrow. So will the consulate be open? I eeally dont want to run over only to find it closed.

tried to ask some expat at Picking Cowboy, but we obviously had a few glasses too much so there was no exchange of valuable information.

Another thing I would like to be sure of is if it's 100% that you will get your passport back the same day?

Im going for a non imm O multiple entry, the first one.

I dont want to bring all sruff if I dont need to. so if I know that I can come back the next day I rather just pay for one more night here and leave my laptop etc.

I know I should be able to find info about days the consulate is closed. But the wifi in Ploy Palace is dead today, and my phone just refuses to open some pages. That's why I turned to ask you guys again.

thanks for reading.

(not the next day, the same day. sorry for typos. Im really bad to spell at these small phones)

They will be closed for a holiday tomorrow.

this seems to suggest it takes 2 working days. But i have heard people saying you will get it back the same day?

ah. thanks Ubonjoe. Then I better just dtay here until tomorrow at least and perhaps go over there then to be there early the 24th

It is still same day at Savannakhet. Apply by 11 am and get your passport back at 3:30 pm.

Perhaps do the crossing tomorrow afternoon before 6 pm to beat the rush on Friday morning.

ok. thanks again! I will do that. will return with a report later in my first thread. But Im quite certain all should be well by now and that I have way more papers and documents than needed
