TLDR : Answer Summary

To apply for a 60-day tourist visa in Vientiane, Laos, you typically need proof of 20,000 Baht (or equivalent) in your bank account, proof of onward travel within 60-90 days, and proof of lodging for approximately 3-5 days. It's also important to check the Thai consulate's website for specific requirements and to confirm whether you need an appointment to submit your application.

May I ask have you obtained a tourist visa this year 2019?

If so...where did you get it?

And as I assume you are now in Thailand, how many months in 2019 have you been in Thailand?

Depending on your previous entry history to thailand (like if you are living here on tourist visas and/or back-2-back visa exempt entries) you might have a tough time getting a tourist visa from Vientiane.

BUT as a rule you need the following;

proof of 20K baht or the equivalent in a bank account

proof of onward travel within 60-90 days

proof of lodging for about 3-5 days

I have appointment for a tourist visa in Vientiane soon. Do they really need the proof of onward travel within 60-90 days and proof of lodging for whole stay? I haven't seen that they need it on the required documents. Thanks!

did you look at the website of the thai consulate in vientiane for the requirements?

Did you already book an appointment to even get IN to the gate at the thai consulate in Vientiane so you can apply for a tourist visa?
