Hi,

 

Just looking to get some clarification on the latest situation at Vientiane for tourist visa applications. I had already planned ahead and booked my flight before these recent online application changes, although I have several weeks to go before travel.

 

Checking the embassy website they now mention financial proof, travel plans and proof of reservation. Is this actually being applied/enforced currently? Is there anyone who has received a visa from there recently who can provide some feedback on what they are asking for?

 

If 20k is now being required, as at Savannakhet, does this have to be in a Thai bank account or are funds in a foreign account accepted. Will a condo rental agreement also be accepted in lieu of hotel booking/travel plans?

 

Appreciate any feedback,

 

Thanks

No changes when applying for a tourist visa. What they posted on the appointment website is just generic info.

You do not do the application online. You only make an appointment for the day you want to apply.
