TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired about the application process for a DTV visa at the Laos Vientiane Embassy, seeking information on the duration and specifics. Responses highlighted that while the Vientiane Embassy issues visas in about 3 days, applicants need to provide substantial financial documentation, including bank statements showing a minimum balance of 500,000 Baht for at least 3 months. Alternatives such as applying in neighboring countries were also suggested due to stricter scrutiny in Laos.

Just applied in Phnon Phem a few days ago with soft power (medical certificate). No interview needs to be taken if you can provide strong documents

I wouldn't recommend Laos. They scrutinize documents and particularly your Financials a lot more than others. For starters, you'll need a 6 month statement with at least 3 months work of 500K banked. If you have less than 3 months of 500,000 Baht in your account you won't be getting your visa except with the help of an agent, which charges

Baht. For that money you might as well fly business class to Ho Chi Minh and get your visa there.

Vientiane does take only 3 days and 2 nights to issue your visa. Same as Ho Chi Minh, but they're moving to the e visa system soon (Cambodia also).
