Hi all, seems like Vientiane has opened few additional slots for visa application next week! And I have managed to secure a slot, do you think if I can apply for the DTV visa directly and anyone know how long will it take for it to be approved? I’m planing to apply with a Muay Thai class in Chiangmai.

Has anyone applied for DTV visa from Vientien, Laos and successfully received it while visiting Laos as a tourist?

I plan to apply for DTV visa from Laos while visiting their as a tourist. Can somebody share some light on if Thai Consulate in Vientien, Laos is accepting DTV visa applications from tourists?

Also, do you need the documents (Employement contract/certificate and Company Documents) certified and authenticated by the embassy of the country where the company is located? Are they asking your electronic Bank Statements to be authenticated and stamped by the foreign bank as well?

Thai embassy in vientiane gonna going to evisa? Does anyone know about it?

DTV approved today in Vientiane - me & my partner took the same kinds of paperwork, however at the initial document check he was advised by the officer he needed to show 3 months worth of statements with 500k, however I only showed 2 months to the officer I saw and it was no problem. Appears to be luck of the draw of the officer on the day...

I'll be applying visa at Vientiane consulate. How close to the application date must my bank statement be issued from the bank? Is there a buffer period like 7 days prior, or does it have to be as close as possible?

Found this on Vientiane consulate website.

Question on the Vientiane (Laos) Thai consulate:

Is it possible to get an appointment online to submit applications for an individual? I understand that people who travel with an agency can get appointments online but it seems the system doesn't allow for individual applicants (without an agency) to book an appointment online.

When I went there last time, I just walked in and joined the queue already seated inside. But a friend said it's different now, and you have to have an appointment? How does it work?

I'm trying to help a friend who's going there next week to make an application for a non-o im. visa. Anyone with a recent experience in VN?

Hello. on the website of the Thai consulate in Vientiane it is written that visas are issued after two business days, not counting the day on which the application is submitted. An example is given, submitting the application on Monday morning, receiving it on Wednesday afternoon. Apply on Friday morning, pick up on Tuesday afternoon. My question is, does it ever happen that the visa is ready earlier? I'm asking about this because someone wrote in another thread that the visa can be collected the next afternoon.

Glad i came yesterday here is queue outside Savanakhet consulate at 7 30 this morning and guess another 50 or so in coffee shop doing copies

Help! I'm unable to reach the Thai embassy in Laos by phone, and when I try to email, the email bounces back. Anyone know a.) whether they're currently operational, and b.) how many days it takes to get a Thai tourist visa at the embassy there?
