Hello Guys. 

I have a younger brother that's around 13 years old. He wants to apply to get an ED visa. And I was wondering if we can do that via Laos. Any advice on the situation would be appreciated 😀😀

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring whether they can apply for an ED visa for their younger brother in Laos. Community comments suggest checking the specific requirements for the ED visa and indicate that it may be preferable to apply in the country where the passport was issued due to stricter regulations.

you might have to apply for the ED visa in SA if he is holding a SA passport. I am Hk passport holder and I recently got mine done in Hk. My school told me that these days the Thai govt is quite straight / changing their regulations. It is recommended to apply the ED visa at the country where your passport was issued. You can try it at Laos but may not get approved.

thank you for your reply. But going to Vientiane or obtaining it in Bangkok preferable...if at all possible. Especially for a student age 13.

then it should be easy. But at age 13 probably need adult to escort to Consulate...unless it can be done in Bangkok.
