was proof of funds needed for 3 months or just ending balance in Laos? also what were your time frames from applying until being accepted?

Hi everyone, I'm in Laos Vientiane, waiting for interview in 2 days. Did ever happen to someone to get rejected after the interview? Thank you 😊

Hi everyone,

I’m Thai and my husband will need to apply for a Non-Immigrant O visa soon. We understand that we will have to leave Thailand to apply for it from a nearby country.

I’d really appreciate any recommendations on which neighboring country would be the easiest or most convenient for this process (I see on the group that Laos could be easy?)

Could anyone share their recent experiences regarding:

- Which country/embassy you used

- The application procedure (in person at the embassy or by evisa?)

- Processing time / waiting period

I have another question: an agent in Thailand told me that I can apply for an e-visa while he is in Thailand, and that once the visa is issued, he would need to leave the country and re-enter to activate it. Is that correct?

Any advice or tips would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!

🙏🏼

Hello everyone, I hope you doing well.

I applied for DTV in Vientiane and went to the embassy for payment today.

I was hoping someone could tell me how long in advance they will notify you for the in person interview.

I would like to travel a bit in Laos while I wait for it.

Is it possible that they send you the invitation just a day in advance or does it usually come a few days before ?

I would be very grateful for any insights.

Thanks a lot in advance !

Hey folks,

can you plesse guide me which countrys thai embassy is good to apply dtv with easy process and good chance to get visa ?

Loas, Malaysia or Vietnam ?

Please suggest do I use any agent or apply with myself ?

Hello everyone! I need to leave Thailand next week to apply since my visa is expiring. I am wondering if there is any embassy that is more flexible with the 500kTHB requirement, as usually expected to be in the account for over 3 months. Mine has only been there for 2-2.5 months. I was considering Laos, but it seems they’re strict about the 3 month requirement. I have also heard Vietnam has been rejecting more applications lately and taking longer overall.

Hi there, quick financial statement question.

Laos specific - After submitting all the financial statements (3 month banks statements via the online portal), do they usually ask to show them proof again in person like on your phone or so?

Thank you in advance for your insight!

If the 60 day exempt changes back to 30 I may need a 60 day tourist visa. Which neighboring country has fast turn around?

Hi, I am wondering which embassies or consulates in Southeast Asia and South Asia are considered the most favourable when it comes to DTV applications. I think I can meet the criteria but rather not have to worry about it. Sri Lanka is one place I’d like to visit, but I’ve seen a few mixed reports on posts here. Thanks.
