@Doug *******
So the embassy site is not accurate for the requirements if you've done it in vientiane? How long did it take?..you did it online. Go pay day after. And then could you go out... like in Luan prabang?

I am not sure if is requirements are up to date but on Laos embassy they ask fir 800 000 thb in a bank account...and other embassy just ask for the equivalent in your home bank account...

Is there any body here that can tell that is the case? The Laos embassy want a thai bank account for application for Non-o visa?

I would like to apply for a non-retirement visa (over 50) in Vientiane, Laos... I'm Canadian.

The embassy website states that you must have 800,000 baht in a Thai bank.

This seems implausible to me since it's impossible to open such an account beforehand...would the equivalent or more in a Canadian bank be acceptable?

If so, would a bank statement for the last 3 months be valid, or does it need to be notarized or require some other certification?

From september 24 to january 25. It seems you have done visa run...though it should not give you any problem
