Hi. I. Traveling to Vientiane tomorrow to obtain a new 60 day tourist visa . My question is about the forms , can I print them off or do I have to obtain them from the consulate ? , also can I pay in Thai baht ? I also hoping that I don’t have to show a ticket out of Thailand and proof of funds.

Grateful for any advice. Kr
Answer summary
When applying for a 60-day tourist visa in Vientiane, you can print the application form at home, but there’s a possibility you might need to fill it out again at the consulate, as they often provide their own forms. It's recommended to bring your printed forms just in case. Payment can be made in Thai baht. You generally do not need to present proof of onward travel or proof of funds while applying for the visa in Vientiane, and there are many local services available for photocopying and completing forms.

You need a copy of the page of ur passport with ur picture and all ur info. And a copy of ur laos visa page (the one with the little blue stamps with the date and the one on the right side with the big visa on arrival that take all the page). I think that's all u need. Put both Laos page on the same photocopy.

You dont need any proofs at Vientiane, there are plenty of copy shops that will fill out the app form and make your copies and passport photos for a small fee. They only take Thai baht, so that's a yes

maybe your print was of bad quality? I have several times printed it at home in advance, with no problems.

Mikkel Kruse As much as it look shady, he is not a scammer. He has been there for a long time and he is still there today. I use him a few time but not anymore, Vientiane not as crowded as it use to be if you know which day and what time to go best for ur tourist visa. As far as I know he is the only legit one. Now, I am not promoting him, I don't recommend using him to save time just go on a wednesday or thursday around 11am to go quickly. Those are always the best day and time of the day. p.s: I know about the sign, the sign have been there for years.

Having been there several times I saw that its the same guys standing there each time.. They must make a decent living. Only takes a couple of fools a day to make a great salary ;)

Maybe they thought you used a "visa agent" (the scammers out front offering to speed you thru everything for 1000-2000 bath).. They have a big sign saying there is no visa agent service accepted.

If anything it was better. I have no idea why it was refused. :/

The only advantage being if there are loads of people already when they open, you can get a better queue number by not using time to fill out forms etc

From what I understand you don’t need proof of funds, onward travel or proof of where you’re staying. It might be the only one

Dude you just made my day, got knocked back at BKK, no cash, was wondering if I'd get back in😊😊😊

2 *visa exempt* border run by LAND per year, doesn't matter which border it is. Tourist visa, visa on arrival and visa exempt by AIR don't count.

third yeah that did it ... im on my second to cambo, hopefully the laos trip does not count because it was for a paid two months visa

@Miki ******
couple months ago nightmare. I’d relied on bad info I’d read, yes I was on my 3rd

@Alvin ***********
jesus dude, when did this happen? You only allowed two cambo trips per year, were you on the third? ... im going this saturday ... my second cambo trip this calendar year ... did one to laos but that was a two months tourist visa, and they dont count apparently

Better be safe than sorry. I had been disallowed reentry the morning of my last attempted cambo visa run as I'd apparently exceeded land visa run allotments and immigration(cambo border) informed me that at this point, only air return would be acceptable. I took a bus to Siam Reep, booked a flight to Subvanapum, was asked for proof of funds & onward travel. Was only able to produce 200 as I'd exceeded my daily limit paying for multiple bus rides and plane ticket so detained for 6hrs & deported back to Siam Reep. After an ordeal bus ride to Pnom pen, an unwanted weekend stay, counterfeit change FROM the window at the Thai embassy and an ATM, I was permitted reentry 9 days later with a 30 day. The embassy did require an atm receipt and copies of onward travel. No problem this time, but had funds in pocket and my flight ticket just in case. I'm sure I created the highpoint of the deportation officers career. Maybe I just had really bad luck but BE PREPARED

Also you don't need any proofs don't worry

I printed a form from the official website for Vientiane and was told to fill it in again using the form there (it was identical) you could try your luck but be prepared to fill it out twice.

I think - think - you can print them but as I remember it's 5baht per page, so it's probably much cheaper to print them before. And yes you can pay in baht

Form is free yes. But copies of the relevant passport pages are indeed a lofty 5 baht :)

Much cheaper? Good Idea saving 5bt, or just get it free at the embassy
