I just wanted to see Savannakhet ) I didn't know that the rules are quiet strict here. Yes, I heard but just wanted to follow recommendations for changing consulate.

, I mean no disrespect, but what possessed you to use the Savannakhet consulate when there are HUNDREDS of posts on the inter-web about that consulate wanting to see proof of funds, proof of onward travel and proof of a hotel booking or lodging to issue a tourist visa?

You need to have your name on it matches your passport same as when you apply for METV in Canada

Go to a travel agency there, or do a booking that you can cancel. What you're asking for is how to circumvent the rules and we have a policy that people can't recommend that stuff.

Thank you. I'll try and report it back

Whether they accept that is gonna be up to the people at the consulate. All you can do is try it.

If it works do report back and let us know

Good Luck (y)

OR you could slog up to to Vientiane where they don't ask for proof of funds :/

you have none. You need to go to an internet shop and access your bank from what ever country you come from and print the balance. It has to be over 20K baht.

They've had that policy for more than a year or so
