What are the requirements and process for obtaining a Thai visa in Vientiane with a focus on soft power activities?

Approved 9 days after paid in Vientiane. No additional docs required. No cover letter. No exit flight or Thai accomodation. They wanted updated bank statement but I would have had to wait, so I showed ATM receipt with balance in photo with passport and debit card with numbers covered, held them in selfie photo, made all into one page pdf. They accepted that.

Soft power activity with official institution letter and receipt. No interview, no questions of employment or anything. Also, bank statements were only summary pages (first and last), did not show every transaction. This helped make the file size smaller. Also, placed 4-photos/page to save memory.

Thank you group for suggestions and polite encouragement, you can do it! It’s almost there! “Pending approval,” is the light at the end of the tunnel. It was one day after pending approval that I received email with visa attached.

The trolls who laugh at people on here have little weenies, they can’t get a girlfriend in their home country so they come here. But nobody likes them here either 5555
