Laos embassy DTV approval

Hello I got my DTV approved in Vientiane a few days ago through a Muay Thai course.

I went to pay the 10.000 baht one day. Went there 10 mins before the embassy opened and I was out in like 10 mins. The same day I paid the fee I got the email with the date for the interview, it took 5 days.

The interview was very fast, 5 mins. They asked to see my bank account app, to see the payment for the DTV course ( I paid with credit card so I showed the receipt). I brought a letter from the Muay Thai gym as well.

The same day I got an email with the DTV approved.

I stayed in Vientiane for a week for the visa but I'd recommend just paying for the visa and going to other parts of laos (vang vieng or luang prabang) and to go back with the train for the interview, Vientiane is kinda boring for 7 days.

Other than that all good

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user shares their experience obtaining a DTV visa through the Laos embassy in Vientiane, which involved a quick application process, payment of a fee, and an interview that confirmed their enrollment in a Muay Thai course. The entire process was completed in about a week, and the user suggests visiting other parts of Laos during the wait, finding Vientiane less engaging over an extended stay.
