What should I know before going to Laos for a Non-Immigrant O Visa application?

Lucky there not many different types of NON O or this could be confusing :).

This is going to be an epic thread 🤔

Are you MARRIED TO A THAI?

Why go to Laos... outside Thailand to get the Non O for retirement???

In most Immigration Offices you can do it INSIDE Thailand.

Laos REQUIRES 800,000 Thai baht banked in a Thai bank for the Non O

What type of Non-Immigration O visa do you want?

Wait for the admins to give you the correct and best information for the visa you are wanting to get.

Where are u going to in laos?

You have to make online booking in advance in Vientiane, Savanakhet is walk in.. Maybe you should clarify what type of non o you are after as that could be a lot of different visas. As I understand from your post in another group you are after the non o based on being over 50 right?

That you will spend the weekend over there. There is not much to tell about the visa application without knowing where you go or on what basis you apply for this visa
