Can I pay for my visa at the Thai embassy in Laos using Lao Kip instead of Thai Baht?

@Falcon ******

okay awesome! I will do that! That is what one guy was saying...will send the husband in the morning to find out

@Falcon ******

yup.....so basically the banks won't do it, and most of the small currency exchanges have Recently shut down by the government. So the ones we can find will only do kip.

So we have a atm card so we can withdraw kip just getting the Thai baht for the visa is difficult

It's my fault for not reading the check list carefully as I didn't see until tonight they only accept Thai baht.

I expected them to take local currency as a few months ago I applied for a visa in Europe and they accepted local currency
