BrianB9 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 It seems really hard to find reviews of visa agents. I've searched this forum, a few other forums, Facebook, and tried just google and haven't had much luck. There were a couple of posts with recommended services in Pattaya, but nothing really in Bangkok. I was thinking about using one for a trip up to Laos to apply for a tourist visa. I could do it on my own, but thought that going with a company that takes you through the process would be less stressful. I have seen some posts that advise to "avoid scammers", but it seems difficult to get information to make that judgement. Perhaps libel laws limit reviews? Does anyone have, perhaps, some positive experiences they are willing to share? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianB9 Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Not sure if the company was based in Bangkok, but one I saw listed a meeting spot in Bangkok to board the bus for the trip to Savannakhet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a chat with @ThaiVisaCentre they could advise on options. From Bangkok some folk would fly to Udon Thani and shortish road trip to Vientiane. Note that tourist visa at that consulate requires an appointment 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason is frequent denials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you obtained a tourist visa not just a 30 visa exempt entry stamp? Edited May 25, 2023 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
