they always asked for usd. the visa fee is announced on all official websites in usd. nowhere its stated in baht. ofc they accept thb but the amount isnt equivalent to 40 usd.

and it was like this already ten years ago when i came to laos the first time.

dont complain if u havent done proper research before u go

its important that she can either prove to have enough money or u will have to prove that u can pay for everything and that she had reason return to thailand (working contract (is the best), family, other duties). they are mainly afraid that no one can pay for her and that she wont go back.. (strange thinking)

u should be absolutely fine (i wouldn'tbe worried at all). there are people having much more entries every year without a problem.

but as its in the hand of the officer there cant be a guarantee

if u dont pay 40 usd they will normally charge 2000 thb.

the fee for the is 40 usd its no where mentioned that amount in thb is equivalent.

just turn up with the right amount in usd and they wont charge u too much
