At times like these when I try to help someone with their question about the need to show a bank statement when applying for a Tourist Visa in Vientiane, I get this message and the OP deletes his post 😢

Pardon me...but as you can delete your post...I could delete you period! Though I choose not too.
You can go find helpful information elsewhere if you like.
Sorry you did not like my correct answer...and had you waited a moment longer you would have read an added reply from me that its possible you may still get your tourist visa tomorrow...just show kindness and respect to the staff. And if at all possible print out a bank statement showing 20,000 Thai baht or its equal. ...I do wish the OP Good Luck.
And for the record...this information has been posted on this forum many times re VIENTIANE...
Tourist Visa, if you had previously some Tourist visas your application will be considered more carefully. Vientiane is now, in most cases, asking for proof of funds, Book Bank with balance THB 20,000.- up OR print out from Bank account from home country value USD 700.-up. Onward air ticket is not required.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Tourist Visa in Vientiane, it is now generally required to provide proof of funds, which can include a bank statement showing a balance of at least 20,000 THB or its equivalent value in USD (at least 700 USD). It is also noted that previous Tourist Visas may cause the application to be reviewed more closely. An onward air ticket is not currently a requirement. The discussion highlights the importance of kindness and respect towards visa application staff.
