So are you from Laos? Or another country getting the dtv? We would like to visit Thailand and if we enjoy it we were planning on staying so when we do the extended . Can we go to another country and request a dtv ?

Or do we have to go back to our country . I have seen that you have to . And I've seen a ton of others go to Vietnam,laos, Taiwan to get the dtv . Just curious

I’m American. We had our education visas first but we felt the DTV fit us better, since we both have our own businesses and work remotely… so we canceled our education visas and went to Laos and applied. Once we got it we just came back.

yes mam! you sure can! To me, Laos is the easiest and fastest. Just don’t drink there and pick your hotel wisely. If you need insight I’m here

Congrats on the visa but answering questions isn't gonna really help anyone that much 🙁

There are no appts open for either consulate in Lao (Savannakhet or Vientiane) and they stop accepting applications Friday until they switch over to the eVisa online portal Jan 1 2025
