The conversation revolves around obtaining an education visa (ED visa) in Laos, emphasizing the need for documentation from educational institutions. It's highlighted that schools typically handle the visa process and can advise on the most suitable consulate to approach, ensuring that all requirements are met for a successful application.

You'd need documentation from your school. Any good school should have a specific consulate they recommend their students to go to because they're familiar with the requirements at that consulate and they should know what those requirements are so they can give you the paperwork that is required. You can't get an ED visa by yourself without documentation from your school.

yes the one with the appt scheduler is the place we are going.

Like the website says finances....so what does that mean? How much do I need to show? Is that monthly salary, can I just show or dad has to show? Does the dad need to be there? (He is off travelling at the moment.) Does the dad need to give paper saying this okay?

The website doesn't mention housing, so does that mean I can go without a housing contract? We haven't found a house yet to our liking yet...

We have all the school papers, just these little details I want to confirm so I have no surprises. Traveling with an adhd 6 yr old and a 8 month old to loas is difficult, so I don't want to get there be fucked over :(

did you check the website of the embassy you'll be using? There's 2 in Laos and Vientiane requires an appointment which are usually booked out a few weeks. Savannakhet does not require an appointment. Both have different requirements which would be on their website

the school gave us paperwork and told us to go to loas. So I'm just trying to make sure my check list is the same as someone who has gone recently. Last time I got a ed visa in loas was when I was 17. I'm 37 now lol
