You’ll need a bank statement and it takes about 5 working days for a volunteer visa you’ll need the paperwork from wherever your going to volunteer

It's fairly straightforward if you have all the documentation required for your visa application.

We applied for a 60 day tourist visa in PP, it was fairly straightforward.

thanks. You were able to just arrive to the embassy and line up? I can't find any way to make an appointment

Also, did you need proof of ownward travel?

@Sophie ******
I did not have proof of onward travel. We did get ask a few questions about our plans. After explaining our plans and that we would be crossing from Thailand into Laos and which border crossing we were planning to use, they issued the visa. We did have to provide proof of funds.

you can't make an appointment you go in the morning, check the opening time. Hand over your paperwork and they tell you when you need to come back. Ours took 3 working days not including the day we dropped it off.

ok thanks. I'm hoping to travel while waiting the 5 days for processing - but I guess that may not be feasible if I am given a specific date to come back ...

Always use an agent if possible
