Can I delay picking up my tourist visa in Laos, or do I need to stay in Vientiane?
When applying for a tourist visa in Laos, you can pick it up after 2 days.
Is it possible to ask them if I can pick it up after 4 or 5 days?
Or do I have to stay in Vientiane?
TIA

Right before you cross over from Thailand 🇹🇭 at the friendship bridge into Vientiane there is a tour company that will take from Thailand to Laos, help with all the paperwork clear through the Thai side and the Laos side. They will take you around to the sights, they know the good places to eat etc. our Laos visa took about 15-20 minutes total 😊
It is located just before this sign on the left hand side.
Good luck

thank you! Do you remember the price for all of it?Richard ******

there was four of us and I think the cost for everything the help, the van, driver and fuel was around 4,000 baht. Of course there are the visa costs 1,700 baht. Don’t bother taking dollars as all mine were rejected. They readily accepted Thai Baht everywhere including for the visa. For US the visa cost 40$; but they want baht, do the math. It was a pleasant joyful day doing it this way.
Good luck

It's probably not a good idea leave as you won't have your passport, it will be with the embassy.
