Just remember that on February 1st. The rules already change and you need to have an appointment ..

Probably the most important thing to note is they require an appointment to be made online from 1 Feb, post about it below.

You go to the Consulate not the Embassy

It's the one linked in the original post at 316 Rue Bourichane. It used to be listed in Google as the "Consulate" but it is corrected to "Embassy of Thailand" now. It is the Consular Section of the Embassy. There are other embassy buildings in Vientiane but you want the one at 316 Rue Bourichane. It is in Vientiane, border is approx 20km away.

No itinerarys or proof or cash, just a valid address in Thailand.
Thanks for your help

I just did mine a week ago. I suppose it's a visa run? They didn't ask anything from me but I used an agency and it's my first time to do visa run.

That's the one :)

Vientiane does NOT require proof of funds, proof of onward travel or proof of a hotel booking.Mark *******
Vientiane is the easiest consulate...no itinerary or proof of funds needed for a tourist visa.

Personally I've never had to show an itinerary nor financials for a tourist visa there.

ORIGINAL POSTERHow pedant are they about itinerary's of travel / do you have to prove financials in the embassy etc?
