Nancy Van Rysselberghe No problem. It took me two weeks to get my visa bc I kept messing up. If I did everything properly it probably would have taken 7 business days. If you must, I suggest going on a Sunday night, completing the application, and that gives you hopefully 5 business days for them to process everything. Then hopefully you will be back in Thailand the next week.

Make sure you have everything that you need and follow the website instructions exactly.

I'd suggest Laos and start the application the moment you cross the border. If you make any mistakes they will not tell you what it is, only tell you you've made a mistake.

When I applied at the embassy in Laos they wanted proof that I was in Laos. The Thai government has become seemingly more strict every few months. I've noticed a lot of change in the one year I've been here. You will probably need to leave the country. Vietnam would be a nicer stay probably, but Laos will be cheaper and probably easier to get to.

This is enough money. I live in remote Thailand with 5 animals on $750 a month. But you do need to have a certain amount of money in the bank to get that visa.
