Does anyone know when Vientiane switches tk Evisa?

Also what is everyone’s experience been like that’s applied recently under work-ation?

How long have your funds been in the account? Will 2-3 months be acceptable?

TIA 😊🙏

3 months statement with 500k for each of those months. Or do they ask for 3 months statement with closing balance on day of application to be 500k?

Vientiane isn't on a shortlist of e-visa afaik. I don't recall specifically but 3 months is probably good. Use the group post search function.
