Has anyone been recently in Vientiane to get their Thai visa? I get conflicting information on how long the process takes these days. Some say that it now takes 2 nights to process it, others say it is still just an overnight wait. Any insight on the most recent trips would be much appreciated!

Answer summary

Recent insights indicate that obtaining a Thai visa from the consulate in Vientiane now takes three business days for processing, contrary to the previous belief of an overnight wait. Applicants must schedule an appointment and provide specific documents, including a three-month bank statement with a minimum balance, proof of confirmed accommodations, and evidence of departure from Thailand within 60 days.

Keep in mind the thai consulate in Vientiane requires a booked appt to get in the gate;

For a tourist visa;

They require you have a 3 month bank statement with 20K baht balance each month

They require you have confirmed booking for 60 days that a tourist visa gets you

They require you have proof you're flying out of thailand in 60 days

It is NOT overnight 🙁

They have a THREE BUSINESS DAY PROCESSING <- meaning if you apply Monday morning you get your passport back Wednesday afternoon, if you apply Thursday you get your passport back the following Monday, and if you apply Friday you get your passport back the following Tuesday
