What are the tips for applying for an E-Visa in Thailand while in Vientiane?
In Vientiane and waiting for approval of the E-Visa. Strongly recommend scanning all relevant documents including passport front page, bank statement, marriage certificate, etcetera. The system kicked back all my phone pictures as "blurry". I have paid one fellow (directly across from the Embassy)to help me get the thing done and dusted. The 'E' doesn't stans for easy. If you apply and the 14 day time clock runs out....back 2 square one.

The guys directly across from the consulate are crooks, the people set up in the little lane beside the coffee shop to the immediate right of the consulate when facing it are much more fair.
