The user inquires about applying for a Non-O visa in Vientiane, Laos, specifically the financial requirements regarding the ฿400,000 equivalent in their bank account. They want to know if this amount needs to be seasoned, similar to annual extension requirements in Thailand, or if simply providing a bank statement showing the amount at the time of application is sufficient. Two comments confirm that the ฿400,000 is the standard requirement.
