TLDR : Answer Summary

To apply for a Thai DTV visa in Laos, applicants should first enter Laos and then submit their application online via the Thai e-visa website. It's important to upload proof of entry, such as visa stamps, along with relevant supporting documents. After submitting the application, you will receive a confirmation that needs to be printed and taken to the consulate for payment of the visa fee (10,000 baht). Once paid, you must wait for an email regarding an interview, which will then require a return visit to the consulate.

you apply online AFTER you're in Lao,

you upload proof you're there (visa/entry stamp)

you upload the support documentation,

you submit the visa application,

get a confirmation that you PRINT out and take to the consulate to pay the 10K baht for the visa,

THEN

you wait until you get emailed for the interview.

so if I go to the interview it’s much better as if I mess up, they can tell me what I need to fix up so I don’t waste money applying online and providing something wrong?

interview is the very last step of the process typically they ask you a few questions confirm your application criteria and definitely check your bank account by your phone to make sure the funds are still there

nope, IF you messed up the DATA entry you still pay and get the application rejected. You can always get a request for additional documents applying online

What you can't do is edit a data field once it's entered, SO check your data entry carefully, then check it again

remember the two consulates in Lao are the ones that usually have you open your website/mobile banking app and show them the balance while you're at the interview

@Joel ******

use the search bar and put in the consulate you're applying at and read the reviews to see what people are saying

They really want to see that you have the money in the account on the date you apply when they have you log in., you already upload your banking history to them when you apply
