A teacher at my school told me that I can't go to Savannahkhet Thai Consulate for a visa. I have to go to Vientianne. Is there a difference between the two when applying for a visa, or she telling stories?

Savannakhet still accepts non-b visa applications.

From the website of the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

Non-Immigrant Visa “B” - (business and work)

2. Application for Visa

2.1 Non-Immigrant Visa Category “B” (Business Visa) is issued to applicants who wish to enter the Kingdom to work or to conduct business.
(1) Foreigners who wish to work in Thailand must provide the following documents:
- Passport or travel document with validity of not less than 6 months.
- Completed visa application form.
- Recent passport-sized photograph (4 x 6 cm) of the applicant taken within the past 6 months.
- Evidence of adequate finance (20,000 Baht per person and 40,000 Baht per family).

Does anyone know if the Thai Consulate at Savannakhet currently request to show this amount (in cash?) when applying for

a Non Imm B single entry?? (I know there is no mention of it on the website of this consulate, but asking just to be sure....maybe that consulate's website is not up to date).

Thanks!

I went there two weeks ago for my Non-B and there were no question what so ever about my finances.

@Kasset Tak

Many thanks!!

Is there a surchage for the Laos visa fee when getting one at the Mukdahan/Savannakhet border on a Sunday afternoon? Or is it the normal fee of 30 or 35 dollars?

Thanks.

On weekends or after normal working hours you will be charged a $1 fee for overtime when you apply for the VOA.

Thanks Ubonjoe!!

Does anyone have a more recent update on B visas via Savannakhet?
