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.

Some expats are agent-obsessed. They need an agent to do everything for them.

but than the visa is $80

I'm retired so I don't have to go scampering to embassies, consulates and borders. I don't have any use for agents

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.
