Approved from Vientiane : )

I am a UK citizen but have residency in Seoul, SK

Arrived in Phuket Dec 2024, was on tourist visa until I left Thailand July 26th (without overstays). I was warned on my last entry to Phuket that next time I may be denied entry and they recommended I apply for the DTV.

Left Thailand by car and arrived in Vientiane on 26th (brought my dog with me too!)

Submitted docs by morning of 28th on Thai E visa portal.

- passport bio page

- photo of myself

- entry stamp to Laos in my passport

- Bank Statements for last 3 months. I made PDF for this showing my South Korean bank details and bank statements for 3 different accounts. I made sure every screenshot, downloaded file clearly showed my name, my account numbers, bank name, bank logo and the balances visible, I even made extra pages with these screenshots zoomed in so it is clear.

- Letter of employment (from my boss) + copy my company's south korean business registration + Proof of salary (showing received money in a bank statemement that shows my compay's name and money received every month + mini work portfolio showing what i do. I merged this all into 1 PDF

The Embassy was closed on this day (28th) so had to go to Thai consulate to pay for application on the 29th (no online payment available for Vientiane)

On the 29th there were too many people in line waiting to pay for applications and I (along with many others) was unable to make payments before they closed at noon.

I had to return the following day

July 30th - paid for application

July 31st - got email for interview date for August 13th

I knew there would be some waiting time sohad planned for this anyway and went to Vang Vieng for 8 days- amazing place

Came back to Vientiane on 10th

Had interview today at 10:25 am, was done by 10:35, got email approval by 11:20

Good luck everyone! Thank you to this group, Thank you Thailand and Thank you Laos! Lets go!

I am currently in bkk on a 60 visa exempt entry. I am planning on flying to Malaysia and applying for multi entry visa. This is my way of navigating visa runs without any stress. I plan to leave on a Wednesday and come to bkkk back on Wednesday, is that enough to to apply for online abd receive the visa? Or do I need to stay in Malaysia longer?

Also, will this successful at navigating entry, I plan to split my time between countries and I don’t want any issues coming back and forth.

Returned yesterday from Cambodja at Poipet border crossing.

Imigration officer gave me 90 days and not 180 days , even after I told it was 180. Some still need to get used to DTV.

No problem for the rest. And i leave Thailand again in 30 days , so has no influence.
