Hi, does anyone know how to get thai baht or USD in Laos, in other way than withdraw from ATM and exchange? I just dont want to exchange twice.

I have my DTV interview next week in Vientiane, I have read that they will email the outcome before 2pm after the interview. What experiences have people had lately for the actual time you end up with the email?

Also if accepted, I understand printing out the acceptance email for entry into thailand is recommeneded. Would it be possible to get in with the emailed digital copy oinly? Cheers

Hi,

I've just submitted my DTV application in Vientiane. I understand there is no online payment option. Can I just go to the Embassy without an appointment. I have attempted to figure this out online. Any input would be helpful. Many thanks.

Did anyone’s status change from PDCto PA in Vientiane, paid on 8th Dec?

Is it possible to do a DTV visa interview in Savannakhet…or do I have to go to Vientiane…? Thanks for the factual answers.

How long of the waiting time in Vientiane now?

Vientiane

Hi everyone. I hear there are 2 thai embassies and I wonder which map location is the one for dtv.

Also I read first you go to pay 10k in person , and I wonder they tell me this how/when ? Anyone who did the process recently and can tell me the time waiting till interview date?

I’m just reading on the website of the Thai embassy in Vientiane that it’s not possible to apply for any type of visa in person. Is that true? Does everything have to be done online?

I have my interview for my DTV e visa in Vientane on the 12th. Do I need to print off all the documents I submitted online?

Has anyone recently applied for a non immigrant b visa for teaching in Vientiane? My school has never been through the process before so we're figuring it out together and it's hard to find clear information online. The system changed earlier this year which is why I'd like to hear from people who've done it recently please. 🙏

I believe I need to make an appointment online and then arrive 24 hours before my appointment so that I can upload my Laos arrival card along with all the other paper work (which i already have prepared) Can anyone confirm that arriving 24 hours before my appointment is necessary?

And does it really take 5- 15 days? How long did you have to wait?

I imagined moving things online would make the process more efficient and it used to only take 2-3 days, so the mention of 5-15 days surprised me!

Any insight, tips and recent experiences would be very much appreiated, thanks! 🙏
