Answer summary
The community discusses the necessary documentation for applying for a Non-O visa in Laos, particularly for the purpose of opening a Thai bank account. Key points include the need for bank statements proving funds, checking with the embassy for updated requirements, and the possibility of waiting at least five days for processing. There is mention of using an agent for assistance, although some comments suggest that most visa applications can now be done online.

I did mine Laos Vientiane about a month ago be prepared to spend at least 5 days there as you have to relinquish your passport for processing mine was put in Monday morning and had to wait till late Thursday to get it back I had to supply up to date bank details for the last 3 months statements from my home country of residence I used an agent from Vientiane to do all for me he is very knowledgeable and helpful with the process he can meet you at the Laos side of the Nong Khia friendship bridge I can pm his number and messenger address if you want, cheers

What? All visas are done online now. There is no relinquishing your passport to anyone. The visa arrives by e-mail.

You'll need copies of bank statements with proof of funds as required for the Non-O you will be applying for. Is it retirement or marriage? Check the Embassy for their specific requirements.
