My WP32 has been issued, and I am currently in Laos. Could you please confirm that the application for a Non-B visa can now be fully completed online — meaning no original documents are required anymore?

In other words, I would just need to submit the application online uploading all requested documents, make the payment, and then receive the visa by email.

Thank you for your confirmation.

Did anyone apply in Laos recently and can tell me how long it takes to get it approved?

Hey guys, can someone recommend a country or an agency from where it’s easy and cheap to apply for DTV. I live in Thailand already. I was on a working visa before which expired. I have rental contract for 3 years and many Thai bills or contracts on my name.

I’m flexible and can travel to every country (within Asia) where the DTV process goes smoothly.

Any recommendations from people who are also living in Thailand and applied abroad for the DTV?

I’m looking forward for nice ideas and suggestions 🙏

Thanks in advance

Hi anybody applied for dtv in laos, my question is did you have to take documents with you to the embassy and if so what documents did you take

Ps I know I submit documents online I want to know if I need to take anything to the embassy

Cheers

This is what Savannakhet, Laos looks like now. Two years ago it was busy and touristy at 5 a.m. there were plenty of people around the Royal Thai Consulate. But now, it feels like a ghost town… so quiet.

Anybody have any success stories with DTV application in Laos? 🙏

Hi group! US citizen here, married to a Thai national, applying for Non-Imm O visa. Which Thai embassies in neighboring countries (Laos, Malaysia, Vietnam , etc.) have you used and recommend? Online info is all over the place—personal experiences appreciated to help me choose! Thanks!tna

Best place for a Border bounce on a DTV

Border bounce at Golden Triangle report.

Just completed a DTV border bounce at Sop Ruak crossing at the Golden Triangle in Chiang Rai. Not Chiang Saen, nor Chiang Khong. Completed the whole process within an hour including waiting 10 minutes each way for a boat to cross the river. Visa on arrival fee in Lao was $40USD cash perfect condition notes scrutinized carefully, dunno what they would have asked in baht. Bring a passport size photo or pay $1. The Laos side of the crossing is called SLK. Big beautiful building but empty. The boat ride across was 100 baht one way for the Thai boat or you could spend 150 baht for the Chinese speed boat, I don't know why you would since it's only a 5-minute crossing. Zero questions asked either side and a seamless process.

Sorry this is what I got back today from my visa application in Laos, do I need to do everything over again and resubmit? I’m new sorry. Does anyone have a agent over in Vientiane Laos that is responsible to help Thanks
