Is it better for a family to apply for a DTV visa in Laos physically or to use an e-visa in Vietnam?
As a family is it better to to a DTV visa in Laos (physically) or take the chance and do evisa in Vietnam ( will take longer as first I need to get DTV and only then the family can follow)
Answer summary
The discussion involves whether a family should apply for a DTV visa in Laos or take the risk of applying for an eVisa in Vietnam, which requires first obtaining the DTV visa before the family can follow. A commenter suggests going to Da Nang for a week for the visa application if confident in the outcome, and also mentions alternative locations like Malaysia or Taiwan.

I personally would go danang for a week and do there if you’re confident you will get it. Otherwise physically malaysia or taiwan if you can, or laos third.

hey Stephen, I'm trying to find out more about evisa from Malaysia, have you heard of any success stories yet? Their rules were quite strict when it was in person and wondered if it's relaxed a bit now it's an evisa 🤷🏼♀️ the application process seems the same for every countryStephen ********
@Charlie ****
I heard today it’s quite strict and is a 2 week wait, so maybe not. Taiwan seems like the best for in person as you get it that day then I like vietnam to do through evisa. I think people have said 5 day turn around. Some was 1-2 days (from memory) and less strict.Stephen ********
