blny Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Hi A long trip across Cambodia, Vietnam to Laos. Can visa fees be paid there (Vientian) with local (kip) currency or necessarily usd and thb? They have a terrible conversion rate in exchange offices ... Greetings from Vientiane!

ubonjoe Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 You have to pay in Thai baht. You have to make an appointment and the requirements for visas are on the same site. https://thaivisavientiane.com/# 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an appointment for tomorrow, today I checked the currency exchange, the rate is tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have trouble getting a good exchange rate for USD to THB in Vientiane, ask around to find out where you can get a good rate. In my experience, with both baht and dollars being the normal currency used for significant purchases (kip typically being only for small items) you should be able to get a very good rate if you choose the right place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
