At Vientiane embassy they are asking for Guarantor in Thailand despite what some people here said you didn't need. The people at the door asked many people to fill that section. They said just write some friend in Thailand.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The Vientiane embassy is requiring a guarantor in Thailand for visa applications, contrary to some earlier claims. Many applicants were instructed to provide a friend's name and contact information, even if they were surprised by this demand. Concerns were raised about potential scrutiny of financial accounts, especially for those using online banking services. Some participants suggested that the term 'guarantor' might be misinterpreted, and that it may not imply financial backing but rather just a contact in Thailand. The discussion reflects a broader concern about fraud and the inconsistencies in visa application processes.
