What are the best visa services for traveling from Thailand to Laos?

Not the cheapest but i always use the reliable and confortable : 1 st visa at QUEEN VICTORIA in SOI 6.

if you fly to Udon thani, whats it like getting to Vientiane/thru the border by bus/van?

SWD very reliable

jump on the train to Nongkhai and cross the border yourself. Its easy

I am pretty sure not METV

Take overnight train from down town to the border get out one taxi will be 5$ or 6$ go across the bridge pay your 30$ US or 1500 thaibhat

Go to embassy if earlier enough sign all papers (papers are free do not buy from street vender)

Come back next day get your METV already glued into your passport

Easy squeezy

Just love them....and the drivers are very friendly too👌

here is the list from the website from Embassy in Vientiane what is needed to apply for a visa, I not see 20.000 Thb on a account in the list: For applicant who wishes to work for an academic institute; as full or part-time teacher, tutor or teaching assistant, documents required are;

1. Official letter from the Ministry of Education of Thailand, or other sub-authorities concerned, approving the employment of foreign academic personnel

2. Recommendation letter from the institution addressed to the Embassy (stating about the employment and visa application) and be accompanied with the certified copy of the endorser's ID

3. Employment contract

4. Form of the Employment Certification

5. Copy of registration certificate of the concerned academic institute

6. Copy of applicant’s academic certificate/record

7. Copy of the recent police clearance or certificate of no criminal conviction.

8. Copy of the previous/current work permit (if any)

Thai Visa Service (SWD) very straight and reliable - good people!

I agree with Mr,

@Paul ********

,I been to SWD most of the time and they recommend next option of visa extension after another, no hassle!

When I did them in the past I always used thai visa service as mentioned in previous posts. They were really good.

You don't really need to pay someone for that... The process is very easy. Quick fly to Udon or directly to Vientiane (depending where you are), stay close to the embassy, drop you application (simple form, passport, photocopies and 1 picture) on the morning, and get your visa the following day afternoon.

Personally I can only recommend SWD,



They looked after me many many times, no hassles, no worries, did not bother looking for or using a different company as SWD always did the job.

That was for multiple tourist visas -

You could self do but I'm a lazy bugger and timed visa runs with same people

#visafriends !!!

Thailand is a big country, it could make sense if you let us know where your stay or from which city you would like to depart?
