Just Curious Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Did a search but nothing specific or current that I could find. I'm currently on an extension of stay based on retirement which expires soon, but have been offered a job so will need to get a B visa again. Company documents etc. are not ready for me to apply for the B visa within the time frame I need, so will leave, apply for a SETV and then it can be converted within Thailand. Question is for the knowledgeable: Where is the best and easiest place to fly to in S.E. Asia to get the SETV? (i.e. least paperwork, queues, etc.) Many thanks.

ubonjoe Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 The embassy in Vientiane Laos meets all of your criteria. No need for tickets out of the country or financial proof like other locations want. Go on Tuesday or Wednesday for the shortest queues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Definitely Vientiane, Laos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckBee Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Or Yangon , that easy and nice trip if want make a little more from a setv trip. Savannakhet pretty easy, travel transition one of best and potentially very low cost and pretty easy organise docs they do require all in advance .

BritTim Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 In my opinion, if willing to pay a little extra on travel and hotel, the absolutely best option is Hong Kong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Curious Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Thanks for all your input. I just want a quick in and out this time. I visit Hong Kong regularly so I took that option off the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckBee Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) If you in bkk then savannakhet or vientaine . vientaine easiest in terms of docs, savannakhet easiest in terms of transport as works perfect transition times at every stage with tour buses going and on return, docs they do require easy enough put together before the trip and savannakhet can be done all in for not much more than 4,000bt . Yangon nice if want a bit of a trip . Lot going depend on where you based and how much cost you want . Edited May 20, 2018 by BuckBee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
