Dear group

Thanks for having me. I really appreciate all the advices that can be found here 🙏

I was wondering if someone has recently applied for the DTVisa Soft Thai Power / Culture / Muay Thai in Vientiane, Laos, and did only upload the bank account statement (dating back at least 3 months) as well as the Muay Thai school course booking confirmation alongside with the obligatory passport scans and the current residence in Laos plus initial abroad residence (in my case Germany)?

So no work contract, sponsoring statement or further wealth confirmations next to the obligatory bank statement.

Thanks so much for your attention & engagement 👏

Hi everyone 👋

Thai embassy in Laos requested to certify the bank statement at the embassy, Has anyone encountered this? or knows what exactly they want? 🤷🏽‍♀️

And How many days does it usually take to schedule an interview? Could I go to Thailand while wait appointment to interview?

Thank you so much in advance 🙏

So im in vientiane, Laos. Been here since 9th. Paid money 14th....they just gave us an interview date of 1st August FFS.

This is ridiculous.

Update - they kindly moved it forwards for me following a polite request. Looks like il be out of here 9 days from payment so I take back my above comments 😂 had a whale of a time here in Laos. If you bothered to learn any Thai in Thailand youl love it too as they speak issan and a lot of Thai and youl be able to communicate with and get to know some wonderful locals.
