Hi all, I seek advice on where and when to apply for the DTV. 

As I am going to be a new self-employed worker and not able to show proof of a long time in this, I will apply on soft power, using Muy Thai. I will most likely go with the 3 or 6-month deal at Tiger Eye in Bangkok.

I am flying into Thailand at the end of February and will from there go to either Laos or Vietnam and apply for the DTV. The main reasons being the winter here in Europe.

Which embassy in Laos or Vietnam is less strict with the length of time the 500.000 THB has been in your bank account? Around the end of March, it will have been 3 months and I do not want to risk them turning me down for that reason. 

Thanks for any help and advice.

Laos requires the 500k banked for 3 months. Vietnam a final balance of 500K is fine, no minimum time needed.
