Finally))))), I got my DTV, very happy)

DTV Soft Power Approved!

In Person, Vientiane Laos.

Make an Appointment on their website!!

Documents Provided to the Embassy.

Fully filled out application with two photos attached.

Proof of funds. This consisted of a certified bank statement from my Thai Bank, along with a full copy of my bank book to show the original deposit of funds. (My funds have been seasoned for multiple years)

Acceptance Letter from a cooking school. (I love cooking!)

A copy of the cooking Schools DBD documents, along with a copy of the owner’s ID Card.

Signed Copy of my hotel reservation in Laos, evisa to Laos, and entry stamp into Laos.

When you make your appointment, you are assigned a number. That number didn’t seem to matter at all. Show up early on the day of your appointment. Bring a Sun Umbrella. You leave everything (including your passport) with the Embassy. Once they review your application and take your money, you are given a slip with a date and time to return to pick up your visa. If you drop stuff off on a Monday, pick-up is Wednesday. Drop off Tuesday, pick up Thursday. This is the cooking school I chose. www.bangkokthaicookingacademy.com

Can anyone please confirm if it is true that when applying for a long term visa in VIENTIANE, LAOS , that I do not have to supply proof of funds ? ( the 400000 or 800000 THB )

Update on a visa run to Vientiane Laos..had 1 monor issue but did recieve my back to back 60 day tourists visa. I would never come here again to do this unless I had 2.

1. Anyone from here who had experience "walk-in" visa application in Vientiane, Laos?

2. Coming from Udon Thani there's a bus that goes directly to Vientiane right?

3. And the bus will wait for you to get stamped just like in Savannakhet?

4. Is the bus station in Vientiane near to hotels and embassy?(consulate office).

I'd highly appreciate your responses!

I'm just concerned about this. I'm about to apply for "non b visa" in Vientiane, Laos. My school wrote in my letter from "tourist visa" to "non b visa". But I'm actually on transit visa now. Is this okay? Won't be an issue to the immigration officer? Thanks.

I am going to Vientiane, Laos for applying a Non B. How's the situation there ? Can anybody show me a link for online booking ? Thanks guys.

Background- Went from marriage visa (divorced) to ED visa, and now on tourist visa.

I did 2 border runs (Ban Pakkad). and they told me I couldn't do another border run, need to fly out.

Any good suggestions as to where would be the best, easiest to get visa, quick ,etc.

My visa is up Aug 18th.

Tod, Robert and the wise men! My ED Visa is approaching the end and I have been offered a contract with a BOI company. I will likely need to do a visa run though to buy some time, what is the easiest or most hassle free consulate/embassy in the neighbouring countires to go buy a SETV (I have a German Passport)? From many posts about various visas, it seems to be Laos at this point?
