ORIGINAL POSTERShould I have 10000 baht or 300$ cash if I apply for DTV in Laos? Will the embassy accept dollar?
TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Thai DTV visa in Laos, it is advised to bring Thai Baht (THB) as the embassy only accepts cash payments in THB. Other currencies, including US Dollars (USD), are not accepted at the embassy in Vientiane, making it complicated for those who wish to use currencies other than the national currency.
