Has anyone applied for DTV visa from Vientien, Laos and successfully received it while visiting Laos as a tourist?

I plan to apply for DTV visa from Laos while visiting their as a tourist. Can somebody share some light on if Thai Consulate in Vientien, Laos is accepting DTV visa applications from tourists?

Also, do you need the documents (Employement contract/certificate and Company Documents) certified and authenticated by the embassy of the country where the company is located? Are they asking your electronic Bank Statements to be authenticated and stamped by the foreign bank as well?

Anyone can apply for a visa from the Thai embassy in Laos as long as you meet the requirements. You must also have an appointment booked.

Yes, I meet the requirements for DTV visa. Just wanting to know if the documents they are requesting (Bank Statements, Employment Contract/Certificate) needs to be attested by the relevant embassy or ministry of foreign affairs where the company is located as well. I have all the documents from my US company I work for as a remote worker, but the documents are not attested by US embassy. My documents only have the signature of the company CEO. And my foreign bank statement is the printed version of the electronic bank statement generated from the internet banking. Will they accept these documents?

The embassy website says nothing regarding the documents required and if they needs to be attested by the embassy of the country where the company is located.(

They only say that if the documents provided is not in English or Thai then they must be translated and notarized by an authorized body or a diplomatic/consular mission.

But all my documents are in English. Hence, I'm asking in this group to see if anyone applied it successfully, and if they needed any documents attested from the Embassy or Ministry of foreign affairs.
