Since Vientiane as changed a lot, can I simply go to Savanaket to get a 60 days tourist visa? 

Is Savanaket ask for the 20 000 or anything else? 

Last year, I did two 60 days in Vientiane and it was so easy, I wonder about Savanaket. 

Thank you

:) ,

Savannakhet requires proof of 20K baht or the equivalent in a bank account (you CANNOT show cash), and proof of onward travel within 60 - 90 days.

I don't know why you say Vientiane changed a lot, all they did was go to online booking for appointments. Go to their website, make a member profile and book and appointment on the day you want to go to the consulate to apply for your visa. Other than that they haven't changed anything

I did book an appointment. I posted it here but deleted it after a day.

, so if you were at vientiane last month you had pre-booked an appointment for the online booking system right?

If this did happen you're the FIRST person it happened to as I can't see ANY posts on the interweb of anyone else saying this happened and as busy as vientiane is it'd be all over the web if it was happening.

I am very certain I went to Vientiane. I was confident I wouldn’t get denied as it was only my second time there and my fourth tourist visa stamps on my passport.

Vientiane does NOT ask for a bank statement :/ Are you sure you weren't at Savannakhet?

I was at Vientiane last month, I got denied cos I couldn’t show a bank statement with atleast 20k in it. I wasn’t prepared for it since all I read was they don’t ask for any proof which is so wrong. I wasn’t the only one that was called to provide bank statement though.

I had 20k cash with me at that time but they didn’t accept it as they want a bank statement which I don’t have. So I got denied and got a one month visa on the border instead.

, they still don't ask for ANY proof of anything, and the online appointment system in Vientiane has been beaten to death on just about every thai related inter-web forum and group out there. :O

Well, you gotta admit, booking an online appointment is a teensy bit different than cruising across the border, getting your picture taken and a visa slapped into your passport without ever entering a building...
