@Phil ******

awesome, start date is when i fly back into thailand not when they issue the visa, fantastic news, thank you

Do you know if they stamp on the day I apply or the day I pick it up

What did you need for your visa at Vientiane and did you get the form online and fill in before you went, reason I ask I am going to Vientiane for a 1 tourist visa start of October, just want everything in check before I go

Yes very true Heinz, would prefere the Visa as I only need the 60 day but if they refuse then will come back on an 30 day Visa exempt on arrival

Thanks for the info Heinz, as far as I know in Vientiane I just need 2 passport photos, form filled in, passport, money in the bank, flight back home to the UK & accomadation where I am staying, that’s what’s it says on the website, if anyone else has been to Vientiane this year to apply for a 1 tourist visa any other info would be much appreciated unless I have everything covered already.

Thank you, do you know how long it takes to get a 1 tourist visa?

thank you

Is there more that 1 Thai embassy in Laos or only in Vientiane?
