I did Vientiane last Dec ...one of last walk in ...with dental plan for 2 yrs ...periodontal treatment ... it took only 3 days .... provided the Thai Embassy lots of paper work showing my financials, yellow book , my misses letter stating I'm with her . The only question asked was ....re withdrawals for my everyday living expenses ...card statements ...I show Embassy lady my bank transfers into my wifes Thai account and stated I use cash mainly or her card
Happened to me and never look at passport ....leave 78 days later..they go ..overstay ...I gone ..why ...I took passport back and showed my DTV sticker...they fixed it for me .
