Hi guys.

I've just submitted my application in Laos.

I know you have to go to the embassy to pay in cash.

My question is after submitting my application do I just go ahead to the embassy to make payment or do I wait on an email telling me to go pay?

Heading to Laos tmrw for my DTV just wondering as I’m 30 km out of Bangkok if the local banks carry USD

If I'm going to Laos, especially if it's to apply for a DTV visa, can I just go by bus? To get a visa on entry, they say one needs to have a return ticket already booked, and the same goes for the Thai embassy in Laos when applying for DTV.

My question: can this return ticket simply be a return bus ticket? Or does it necessarily have to be a plane ticket? And if so, please explain why. I need answers from people who have a clear answer from someone who knows, not someone who's just guessing and think they know.

Thanks!

Hi all. Anyone been to Laos recently? My last visit was pre covid, so wondering how things work currently.

According to my (Danish) ministry of foreign affairs, it should still be possible to obtain a visa on arrival aside from the evisa option

Would prefer the former, so would love to hear any recent experience.

Cheers!

Hey everyone! im going to Laos to get a tourist visa, and everywhere i've read it says its three days process or something like that, but the website says its 10-15 business days to process the visa, starting jan 1st 2025. Has anyone done a visa in Vientiane recently? any update on how long the process takes?

Has anyone worked with bamboo oriental visa service. I am suppose to go to Laos tomorrow suppose to fly out at 8am for my visa and they are changing the plans on me ? Checking to see if anyone else has had this experience with them! Thank you!

Gonna head to Laos to do my Thai visa. Can anyone tell me how much the Laos tourist visas are on arrival at Vientiane airport for British people? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am at the end of the online application process doing the dtv (plan to go to Laos) and it asks to make the 10k baht payment. I’m wondering if there’s somewhere im not seeing about making an appointment to go to the Laos office. I’m currently in Thailand and know you must exit and apply outside at an embassy. If anyone has done it this way that can inform me, thanks

Hello everyone, I have bank statements in French. Should I get them translated, or is that not necessary? I will proceed my visa in Laos.
