I currently have a non-O foundation volunteer visa and work permit that I've held for 15+ years. I'm switching to a religious (RA) visa soon. The department of religion said I need to apply for an E-visa and recommended getting it in Penang, Malaysia.

The problem is that I can't apply for an E-visa if I'm in Thailand. What's the process for switching visa types like this?

I see my post was removed. The answer from Tod was great. Not sure why it was removed. I had a follow up question about my wife and son. Do they need to apply separately or is there a place to include them as "followers" on my application?

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?

Required Documents

1. Flight Itinerary showing flights into and out of Thailand

2. Proof of accommodation: Copy of hotel reservation / rental contract/deed. In case of residing with a family, an invitation letter from the host family along with a copy of their undersigned Thai ID or house registration is required. The name of the applicant must be indicated clearly, or

Hello flying to Ho chi min on Sunday.I want to know can I go to embassy Monday morning and hand all the paperwork in myself ?

Hello there. I am in the process of planning my travel to apply for the DTV visa. I am currently in Thailand and planning to travel around the middle of January. I am looking for some guidance on the countries in the region that will have the quickest turn around time.

Thank you 🙏
