Just to share my experience with the thai consulate in Vientiane:

1. They do not require bank statements to show proof of the 20,000 baht when applying for SETV.

2. Steps have been simplified for those getting SETV - once the guy at the table accept your form and hand you a queue number, you can leave. Only the Non-O applicants need to wait for the counter person to inform you to return tomorrow.

3. Pleasant surprise, ED visa fee for Singaporeans is actually waived. :)

A user shares their experience at the Thai consulate in Vientiane, noting that bank statements are not required to prove the 20,000 baht for a SETV application. The process has been simplified, allowing applicants to leave after receiving a queue number, unlike Non-O applicants who must wait for further instructions. Additionally, it is mentioned that the ED visa fee is waived for Singaporeans.

That is why Singapore passport is the best in the world. It comes with a lot of benefits in accessing many countries.
