TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the ease of obtaining a Thai tourist visa from nearby diplomatic missions. Savannakhet, Laos is highlighted as accommodating walk-in applications with quick processing times, typically less than a week. In contrast, the Phnom Penh consulate is mentioned where using an agent can expedite the process, requiring proof of funds. These options are explored particularly for those near Ho Chi Minh City.

phnom penh use an agent ( suggest Cina travel street 130) cost $60< need show $1,000 in a bank account< takes 3-4 working days
saves u traveling back and forth to the embassy twice
waiting in line
dealing with crowds
all for only $20 ๐
OR god forbid ur in siem reap, Kampot where it would cost ya over $10-40 each way to get to the capital, pay for hotels/food for 3-4 days and than back home
Depends on the country. If you lived in Cambodia, you'd use an agent for your visa extension. Everyone does. In Laos, this is also largely true (except for tourist visa extensions, which are generally done in person at the immigration office).
Savannakhet Laos accepts walkins without an appointment and you'll get your visa in much less than a week. Check the embassy or consulate website that you are interested in going to for their requirements and if they require an appointment.
