ORIGINAL POSTERHi all, seems like Vientiane has opened few additional slots for visa application next week! And I have managed to secure a slot, do you think if I can apply for the DTV visa directly and anyone know how long will it take for it to be approved? I’m planing to apply with a Muay Thai class in Chiangmai.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around applying for a DTV visa at the Vientiane consulate, with users sharing their experiences regarding the application process and the expected timeline for approval. One commenter mentions being able to get their passport back within 3 working days if applying on a Friday, while another confirms it's possible to apply directly and provides a similar timeframe. Additionally, one comment promotes assistance for successful visa applications.

IF you take that Friday appointment you will get your passport back 3 working days later counting the day you apply, SO apply Friday morning, get the passport back the following Tuesday Afternoon 🙂

this is a very good insight! Thanks! And for the form, is there any form that we need to fill before we go? Or we just bring the required documents if enough?Henrik *****
Incredible so much great information you can get by visiting the website of the Thai Embassy you want to apply at.

Yes you can and should apply directly. Consulate website states timeline of processing. For me it was drop off application and info Monday morning, and pickup Wednesday afternoon.

nice I’m planning to go next week! :) did you need to get your bank statement notarized? I’m planning to apply via Muay Thai activityMatt ********
No didn’t ask for it to be notarized. Provided 6 months of statements including transactions. If you don’t have a statement for October I would suggest printing out a screenshot of current balance to date and bring with you just in case.
