ORIGINAL POSTERHello everyone 👋
I received a DTV visa and now I need to apply for a visa for my child based on my visa.
We are currently in Thailand. Do I need to go back to Laos to apply for a visa for my child, or can I do it from Thailand?
Thanks in advance! ☺️

TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among community members is that you cannot apply for a DTV visa for your child while in Thailand; the application needs to be done from outside the country, specifically indicating that returning to Laos is necessary for this process.

You received the DTV while you have been in Thailand? Where did you apply and how you entered Thailand? On tourist visa?

You cannot apply for the DTV in Thailand.
