Got DTV approved in Vientiane through the new evisa system. Submitted documents online on Jan 14 and had interview appointment at the consulate on Jan 17. Visa was approved right after. Thai consulate in Vientiane really seems to look into the bank statement. Had to open up the bank app on phone for the consular to check transactions against the uploaded bank statement. Not many questions otherwise. Total processing time 4 days (although I don’t think the interviews are held every day).

Hi everyone,I applied for DTV in Vientiane today ,do you know how long it take to approve the visa after you went for interview?

## ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

Thai consulates in Taipei, Yangon, Singapore, Manila, Vientiane & Savannakhet will STOP accepting in person walk up applications and switch to the eVisa online web portal effective Jan 1, 2025..

Read the notice of the consulate you are interested in using to see when their cut off date is for the in person applications (and note that places which required an appt like Vientiane & Savannakhet are fully booked)

I am aiming to go to Vientiane next week to apply for the DTV. Their site for booking appointments doesn't seem to let you book anything (thaivisavientiane.com); I hope this doesn't mean that the slots are all booked until the end of the year. Would be good to know if anyone else has any insight.

Next month will go to Vientiene to apply for the DTV...

Currently living in Bangkok and have proof of residence, Thai bank accounts (with the necessary funds for the last year) and have enrolled in a Muay Thai class (with dtv authorisation documents)

How many days do you think it will take to get the DTV approved once in Laos?

Thanks in advance for your responses

Hi all, seems like Vientiane has opened few additional slots for visa application next week! And I have managed to secure a slot, do you think if I can apply for the DTV visa directly and anyone know how long will it take for it to be approved? I’m planing to apply with a Muay Thai class in Chiangmai.

Has anyone applied for DTV visa from Vientien, Laos and successfully received it while visiting Laos as a tourist?

I plan to apply for DTV visa from Laos while visiting their as a tourist. Can somebody share some light on if Thai Consulate in Vientien, Laos is accepting DTV visa applications from tourists?

Also, do you need the documents (Employement contract/certificate and Company Documents) certified and authenticated by the embassy of the country where the company is located? Are they asking your electronic Bank Statements to be authenticated and stamped by the foreign bank as well?

Thai embassy in vientiane gonna going to evisa? Does anyone know about it?

DTV approved today in Vientiane - me & my partner took the same kinds of paperwork, however at the initial document check he was advised by the officer he needed to show 3 months worth of statements with 500k, however I only showed 2 months to the officer I saw and it was no problem. Appears to be luck of the draw of the officer on the day...

I'll be applying visa at Vientiane consulate. How close to the application date must my bank statement be issued from the bank? Is there a buffer period like 7 days prior, or does it have to be as close as possible?
