joninisaan Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Hey Everyone, I wrote earlier this year with my thousand questions about getting a Non O Multi Entry VISA. It will expire on October 1 (Tuesday). I'm planning to go to the Thai Consulate in Savannakhet to apply for a new non O multi entry. I heard that Mondays and Thursdays are very bad days to go to the Thai consulate in Savannakhet. Does anyone know the current situation with Mondays and Thursdays there? If its still ridiculously bad on Mondays and Thursdays, I'll go to Savannakhet on Monday and to the Thai consulate Tuesday (the day my VISA expires). Also, does anyone know a decent place they could suggest me to stay in Savannakhet which is walking distance to the bus station and to the Thai Consulate? Many Thanks In Advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 You are aware that if visa is still valid you can just exit and return to Thailand for a new 90 day stay as you have been doing during the year it is valid? Or do you really mean visa has expired and you are on a permitted to stay stamp that allows stay until Tuesday? Avalon or Aura (same area) are often mentioned as good choice to stay in the 700 baht range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the fast response Lopburi3, Sorry, I meant I'm in Thailand on a permitted to stay until October 1st, Tuesday as I originally entered Thailand this past May and already got an extension. So, I will be applying for a new Non O VISA Multi entry. Thanks also for the suggestion for Avalon or Aura, Ill check it out. I'm still contemplating if I should chance it and go to the Thai consulate on Monday or screw the hassle and congestion and go to Savannakhet an extra day from my plan and chill on Monday and go to the Thai Consulate on Tuesday instead. But many thanks anyway Lopburi3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 AFAIK Monday the Thursday are still no-go days if you have the choice. Might be best to stay in Mukdahan Monday night and cross Tuesday morning. visit Consulate and then proceed to hotel when more rooms should be available and border fewer people. Should be few Tuesday morning and Wednesday afternoon for pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Quack Posted September 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2019 I was there last Wednesday it was dead, around 25 people at the most. I had all the docs for a multiple non O based on marriage, had the guy check everything and do the form for 100 baht, very fast and easy. You'll be fine, don't fret ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice Lopburi3, was thinking of going Monday morning across the border but after you mentioned about more hotels rooms being available Tuesday, I'll follow your advice and maybe stay in Mukdahan Monday and go across the border or drive from my home in Sakhon Nakon early Tuesday morning to the border.

Thanks for the encouragement Quack. The guy checking the form works for the Thai Consulate? And if so, where should he be located? Several years ago, I went to Vientiane and the guy who helped me do fill my form took my passport and paperwork and disappeared somewhere. He came back eventually with everything filled out and everything given back but those minutes he was gone I was ready to <deleted> (what is this deleted thing?) anyway I was ready to defecate in my pants any second and kept thinking to myself that I must've done the most stupid thing in the world.

So to make sure, the guy will fill out the Non O VISA form too? And does this guy make copies of my Lao Visa too? Also to make sure, where is this guy located? I heard right across the gate for the Thai Consulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gzu88bv Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) @joninisaan I don’t want to be pedantic or introduce you to old stuff, but what I wrote in my opener regarding Savannakhet in my link below is still valid today and that goes for what I handed in and how my paperwork was set up. By the way ID card of your wife is indeed sufficient and not both, she might even not have a passport. What I may add is the Thai Application Form. It consists of 2 pages and please make sure it is a one page back to back print-out. Good luck. https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/697299-worry-free-non-o-visa-savannakhet/ Visa Application Savannakhet.pdf Edited September 24, 2019 by gzu88bv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
