I need to leave Thailand for a visa run for 4 days. I am an American with a Thai wife. I've been to Danang Vietnam, is there any other suggestions for destinations? It's a general question i know there are different things for different people but just wanted some destinations to think about.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share my recent experience regarding the DTV visa application. I submitted my visa application on December 9th and received my approved visa on December 12th! 🥳

The process was very simple and efficient. The documents required are quite straightforward:

- Employment contract

- Proof of my work through emails or client references

- Thai bank statement for the last 6 months with a balance of over 500,000 THB

A big thank you to the Thai Embassy in Vientiane for their excellent service. I highly recommend going through them if you need a DTV visa.

Good luck to everyone with your applications!

Looking at submitting an application while in Laos in January. Tried to make appointment for the but system says none available and mentions the e-visa will start 1 January. Will it be online only started January 1 in Laos. If I am there, I apply online to Vientiane?

I have an appointment on December 6 in Vientiane and I just learnt that there is a public holiday on December 10 which is my passport pick up day.

Does this mean that my passport pick up date has now been moved to December 11? And if so what time are they usually ready for pick up?

I've to visit Thailand embassy in Vientiane (Laos) to finish my non b visa application. I want to avoid it and pay to the appropriate agency. If you have any information I will appreciate it

DTV Success in Vientiane.

Got DTV through Muay Thai. Gym provided all the proper papers. The visa support letter confirmed that I signed up for 1 class per week for 6 months. I used a Wise account to show the 500,000 THB equivalent for 6 months. I used the statement version where Wise will put a stamp and signature on the statement. I also included my rental contract in Thailand that goes to May 2025.

Applied on a Monday. They looked at my documents, seemed satisfied and told me to come back on Wednesday. On Wednesday, my visa was not ready and they said because Wise is an online account that they wanted to see my bank account app on my phone to confirm my name, account number and that the amount in the account matched the submitted statements. When they saw it all matched up, they told me to come back the next day and that’s when I got my visa.

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 😊🙏
