DTV in Vientiane, Laos.

[RedReding]

So here's two questions I'm sure a lot of people would like to get an answer for :

 

- If you're a foreign worker in Laos with a work permit, stay permit (essentially a temporary resident) can you apply for the new DTV Multiple-entries 5 years visa at the Thailand embassy in Vientiane ?

- If you're on a tourist visa in Laos, can you apply for the new DTV Multiple-entries 5 years visa ?

 

As a resident and foreign worker in Laos, you can already apply for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa for Thailand, so logically, you should be able to do the same for the DTV.

 

Any direct experience would be great. According to the website, E-visa doesn't seem to be an option when applying from Laos.

 

Let's discuss this. Cheers.

I haven't seen any actual reports yet, but from the information they've posted on their website, it appears that being a resident of Laos isn't a requirement for applying for the DTV in Vientiane.

I contacted the Thai Embassy in Vientiane, last weekend. They informed me non-residents can apply for the DTV. Need to book an appointment online, bring required docs and completed application form, 10K THB cash only. Approval given in 2 days except for the day of submission.

The DTV is not yet on the list where you can select the type, so you have to write it by hand.

How did you contact them?

I contacted by email and received this. But then I see they have a contact form on the appointment page which I haven't tried.
