Do I need to print documents for my DTV interview as a remote worker in Vientiane?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Soon I’ll have a DTV interview (remote worker) in Vientiane. I’m wondering if I need to print the pdf files that I uploaded during the application (financials, portfolio). The email says “Kindly bring all relevant original documents, including your passport.”

I’m just asking this because I’ve read “just show up” in the group multiple times but when I was paying for the visa fee I actually had to print out the invoice with the QR code on it (they stamped it after payment). People without the printed invoice were turned around.

I’ll bring my passport and laptop to show them whatever they want to see and I’ just wondering if I need to print anything else just in case.

Thank you.

Print everything out and make sure you can access any or all of your information from your phone. You can take your laptop with you and leave it at security. If you need anything on there they will allow you to fetch it and access the information. I had all my documents and they asked me to log into my bank account to show them as they were not familiar with the bank in my country (I'm South African) Chances are you go there loaded with everything and you get the easiest IO Interview you 😂 But I would rather be prepared.

What don’t you understand about what the e mail says

A printout of the PDF doesn't sound like original documents to me. I'd take the documents you used to assemble the PDF

For 100 baht, I would print everything possible. It could cost

+ baht if you don't get it and have to try again.

What do you think they mean by ‘bring all relevant original documents’? Fyi most embassies will not allow you to take a laptop in

Maybe print out anything and everything regarding your application!

Kinda a ‘no-brainer’.
