I am surprised they did not do the visa today. In the past when they had a unscheduled closure they issued the visas on the same day of application.

Also I seen quite a few people refused Tourist visas yesterday,I'm not sure if it was over bank books as the one girl that spoke to me when she was refused she said it was as she had no bank book,I told her to come back with 20000b cash but I'm unsure if she was successful afterwards,

I spoke to another guy at the hotel this morning and he said everyone that applied for tourist visas yesterday was refused,

I can't say for sure but it looks like they are cracking down on border run vans.

A Member of the Royal Family will visit Savannakhet and in such event, they will close, without advance notice, happens in Phnom Penh too. Vientiane no, as Consular section is at different location than the Embassy.

there is no crackdown on border run vans, because no company go to Savannakhet, they ask for bank statement and not cash.

they not like to work for free.

It is a Consulate and they have to fund themselves, hence they sold the useless triple entry tourist visa in the past with a validity three month.

They are a official consulate and get funding from the MFA for their operations. The only source of income for honorary consulates is from visa fees.

Yet a friend was in HCMC on Monday applying for a SETV and they accepted cash as a way of the 20k, different rules at different places

I saw a poster saying they refused to give him the pictures back even though they refused the visa. They also seem to keep the copies of everything so maybe an information gathering exercise for future reference. Who knows?

Also today at Savanakhet this morning there was many refusals for Tourist Visa ,maybe for future reference people should go elsewhere to obtain Tourist Visa as when they get refused they have to use up 1 of 2 land border crossings per year.

Until it has been reported things are not so strict there.

Just my thoughts.
