Hi, has anyone applied for a non-o Thai visa in Vientiane recently?

Last I knew you had to make an appointment, no walk-ins allowed. But when I click the link for the website it says the domain has expired.

But if you want to apply for an e-visa I understand you have to be in Laos when you apply and it can take 10-15 days.

I’m just curious what other people have done concerning this?

Also, when applying for a follower visa in Laos has the original marriage/birth certificate been enough or do you need any sort of other paperwork providing proof of relationship?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Recent successes obtained in DTV in Vientiane as part of soft power activities especially in muay thai? thanks a lot

For Vientiane, I understand we need to pay the application fee at a designated agent. How does payment process work there? Do I need to pay before submitting application? Any info is much appreciated. Thank you.

Has anyone recently got a thai visa from thai consulate vientiane and how long did they have to stay in Vientiane hotel while waiting for confirmation by email

Has anyone here gotten their DTV at Vientiane without an interview?

Just curious because I want to know the timeline before applying. Agents are telling me something completely different than what I've read in this group.

Also, they are checking bank statements? For security purposes I only do online banking on my laptop. Would I need to take my laptop for the interview?

DTV approved in Vientiane 🎉

This group was super helpful so wanted to share my experience. Overall it a super smooth process in Vientiane, and much faster than the timeline currently on the embassy website.

* Applied online Sunday 19 January for workcation

* Paid at the embassy on Monday 20 January

* Tuesday 21 January at about 9pm received an email with an interview on Thursday 23 January.

* Went for my interview Thursday morning

* I got an email not even 10 minutes after leaving the embassy saying my visa was approved

* Back in Thailand on Friday, no issues at immigration

Total processing time: 4 business days

The interview was very straightforward, asked me about my job then made me login to my online banking to check it was my name on the account and then verified some transactions. Took less than 5 minutes.

May I know please how about to apply DTV Visa at Laos, Vientiane as remote job?

I am looking for an updated post on the DTV experience in KL. I couldn't find one. So, decided to pose a question here.

American passport holder.

Been in Thailand for a few years on an ED visa.

Now I am planning to get DTV via Muay Thai.

I have had that 500,000 THB in my Thai account for more than 3 months.

Which embassy/consulate will be better? Vientiane, Laos, or KL, Malaysia?

Thank you for all your advice in advance.

Hi all, I saw some past messages around it but can't find them anymore so sorry for asking what has already been asked.

I'm going to start a new job (remote) and would to apply to workation DVT. I know some embassies rejected such applications because it's a new employment relationship and they want to show 6 months of payslip from the same employer.

This is not a money issue (I have 6 months payslips from my previous employer since I'm jumping from a contract to another, and have the required balance), but just the fact that this is a new contact.

Do you know the position of HCM/Hanoi/PP/Ventiane on this topic? did anybody got a DVT approved in the region with a brand new employment contract?

Thanks

Hi,

I will be leaving for laos next month and will be applying for the dtv online(obviously). I'm just a bit curious as to what to put down for entry into Thailand as am cycling from chiang mai to Vientiane and the plan was to cycle back and enter at chiang Khong. Would you recommend just picking a flight number and using that or put down border crossing? I haven't started the application as yet, just curious!

Cheers
