What is the process and timeline for obtaining a DTV visa in Laos?
DTV: Muay Thai/Soft Power Approved on April 14!!
Honestly surprised by the update today since most offices should be closed this week. I expected to wait another 1-2 weeks for an interview update, but received the approval email instead without even having an interview. I have also seen posts where some people were approved in less than a week with no interviews, so it might be worth checking out Laos if there are people considering Vietnam, Indonesia, or Laos!
Submitted my application in Vientiane, Laos!
1. Application sent April 5
2. Visa fee submitted in-person April 7
3. Pending approval April 8
4. Approved April 14
Excited to head back this weekend~ ✈️

Thank You for your helpful report 👍
Congratulations 👏👏👏
PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.
That's what you should do... print it out.
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.
Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
