Question on in-person interviews:

Anyone in recent (2025) experience had to do an in-person interview for your application? I'm curious to know if the embassy will give you a window to make an appointment or if they dictate when your interview is going to be?

hello. i requested a cancellation letter from my previous school to cancel my nonb visa and the cancellation date that was written on it is on september 20. can I book an earlier appointment for the processing of my new nonb visa or do i still have to wait for the 20th?

Hello all!

I will start studying Thai in October. I am currently on a TV (Norwegian passport), and my permitted to stay date is October 16th.

My school papers to take with me to the embassy in Vientiane to apply for an ED-visa will be ready for me 30. September, so I have to go to Laos somewhere in the timeroom 1-16 October. However, when I log on to thaivisavientiane.com, I only get "no available schedule" when looking up dates in the beginning of October. I have read in this group that available slots for dates open about 30 days before, so I'm surprised that not even the first 10 days of October is available for booking yet, since it’s the 10th of September today.

I would really like to get my appointment sorted soon, so that I can book my flight and have stuff sorted. October is coming in quickly.

Anyone know if I'm doing something wrong which is why I don't see any available slots, or if anyone knows when the available slots for the first few days of October will be open for reservation?

I am trying to schedule an appointment at the Thai embassy in Vientiane for my husband, son, and me (NON-O ( for myself) and dependant VISAs (for my husband and son). Do I need to schedule three separate appointments on the Thai/Vientiane website?
