ORIGINAL POSTER
I am currently applying for my e-visa from Vietnam, where I am visiting. I have two questions. First, should I put my current address in Vietnam first, or my permanent residence address in my home country? Second, I am arriving in Thailand by train from Vientiane to Udon Thani. Which immigration checkpoint should I select: Fraternity Bridge 1, 2, 3, or 4?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for your e-visa from Vietnam, it's important to use your current address in Vietnam for the application. You should provide documentation supporting your current location in Vietnam, such as an entry stamp or accommodation confirmation. Regarding your entry into Thailand, the First Friendship Bridge is the main border crossing between Vientiane and Udon Thani, but note that traveling by train may not be directly feasible; typically, a bus is recommended for this route.
Jan ******************
You are required to provide documentation confirming that your current location is Vietnam when submitting an application with a foreign passport. Acceptable documentation may include an entry stamp, a boarding pass, or written confirmation of your accommodation. The First Friendship Bridge serves as the border crossing between Vientiane and Udon Thani; however, you must document or specify the mode of transportation you intend to use for entry, but there’s no direct train for this route. Personally I would have chosen a direct bus all the way.
