hello my grandson, after submitting his visa application at the Thai Embassy in Vientiane, Laos, was called for an interview today from 10am to 10:30am for validation. Unfortunately he missed his flight... How can we contact the embassy We do not find on the website the possibility to leave a message, the phone numbers found on the internet do not respond and the email sent still found on the internet are not correct.
Can he run without an appointment? Thank you in advance for your help

Bonjour mon petit-fils, après avoir déposé sa demande de visa à l'ambassade de Thaïlande à Vientiane (Laos) était convoqué à un entretien aujourd'hui de 10h à 10h30 pour validation. Hélas, il a raté son vol... Comment pouvons nous contacter l'ambassade. Nous ne trouvons pas sur le site internet de possibilité de laisser un message, les numéros de téléphone trouvé sur internet ne répondent pas et l'envoi d'email trouvée toujours sur internet ne sont pas correctes.
Peut il se présenter sans avoir de rendez-vous ? Merci d'avance pour votre aide
Along with passport and recent photo, I submitted only a screenshot of my bank balance and my 2 year remote work contract from a company in Myanmar.
emailed to come in for interview 4 days later.
I was way over prepared for the interview with many months of bank statements, visa history in Myanmar, photos of me at work, website, copies of my degrees....
Interview lasted about 3 minutes. They had about 20 people report at the same time and you had to take a queue number and wait. They asked me how long I would be in Thailand, (I'm not sure, but at least 90 days) and would I do any work in Thailand other than remote work (No). That was it.
Approval notice within the hour.
It was the same day the notice came from Yangon that they were not going to issue any further tourist visas. The company that my contract is from anticipates having trouble in the future with business visa as well. So this post maybe isn't that useful for this group. I couldn't find much info about applying in Yangon when I was researching in anticipation of my application, so I thought I would just record my experience.
I applied for DTV from Pakistan. I was called in for an interview on the 19th of March. Overall, the interview went well. Initially, the visa officer asked to provide employment evidence attested from the Minitry of Foreign Affairs, where I replied that it's not possible as I work with a US registered company and MOFA will not be able to attest to it. After that he asked questions about my employer, my intent to stay in Thailand, and my previous travel history. Everything was honestly communicated to him with confidence also with the fact that I have no travel history in the past and this is my first time travelling to any foreign country.
What is the probability of a visa to be approved? How much days should it take more to hear back ?
Incase if approved , what would be the next steps.
Any useful information and insights would be highly appreciated.
Had my interview today for DTV in Islamabad. The officer asked me normal questions about what I do, how much I earn.
Then said your bank documents for the 500,000 Baht are not attested. How can I know the authenticity/ genuineness of these documents?
I told him it’s possible to call the bank. (My statements were from Wise).
He said you’ll need to get the statements notarized and then apostilled from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pakistan and then I can scan them in to the evisa portal.
He also offered me the multi entry visa instead that he can approve today. I said no, I’d like the DTV.
From talking to him it felt like all my documents are in order. He was also very helpful in answering all my questions.
I make a good amount of money and my employment is easily verifiable so it was a smooth Q&A nothing too crazy.
Overall it was a positive experience.
I’ll update on if I get the visa once I’ve submitted the apostilled documents.
It’s a hassle to do this but keeping in mind the high number of fake docs people submit, I guess it’s something necessary they have to do in Pakistan.
I wasn’t aware of this requirement or I would’ve brought the apostilled statements.
For anyone else applying as workcation from Pakistan, make sure you apostille your statements.
He did mention if I had my 500K in a local bank, it might be easier? But I’m not 100% sure.
I have received an email for an interview in Islamabad, Pakistan. What is the purpose of this interview and they haven't asked for any documents in the email. Please share your experience of interviews here.
[Update: They called for an interview this morning, but I am currently out of Laos. If I don’t attend the interview, will it cause any issues? (Just asking.)
For the requested documents, I had submitted my Laos visa and entry stamp.]
At 12:30 PM today, the status changed to 'Processing - Pending Approval,' but now, at 8:30 PM, it is still the same.
My question is, how long does it normally take for the status to change? And at this stage, do they usually call for an interview?
I applied on Feb 17th, then got asked to upload some additional documents on 21st, then today I get asked to go for an interview. It doesn't request me to take anything to the interview, but I am thinking to take my passport at least. For those who went for an interview, how did it go, what did you talk about and do you have any advice. This is for the Thai embassy in Tokyo. Thanks
Has anyone gone through the process of applying for a visa via the Thai E visa system from Laos? Any info on the processing time or whether there's maybe a better way to do it these days? 10-15 days processing time seems a bit too long to be hanging around up there. Thanks in advance.
