ORIGINAL POSTER

Question: about the Thai Consulate in Vientiane , Laos. 

Has anyone had problems there processing a follower/dependents'  (for children or spouse) visa on their volunteer visa application? 

My friends are heading there but were told that there might be a problem with this particular embassy which doesn't approve or provide the service for family/follower visas?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post inquires about difficulties in processing dependent visas at the Thai Consulate in Vientiane for individuals on volunteer visas. Comments suggest that there may be no provisions for dependents under such visas, as noted with the similar ED visa. Users recommend checking the embassy's website for accurate information and advise communicating with the volunteer foundation for guidance on visa approval for dependents.

You will firstly need to talk to your volunteer foundation. As they will be supporting your application for a work permit, any dependants must be approved by the employer. So first port of call will be the foundation

Umm, I'm not exactly sure, but I do not think there are any provisions for trailing spouse, or dependants, on that visa, the same as an ED visa.
