ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello! I got the Visa just this noon. I plan to apply it for my spouse, dependent DTV in Vientiane. Could his job type (unemployed or others) affect the application and approval process?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user has received their visa and is seeking to apply for a dependent DTV visa for their spouse in Vientiane. They are concerned about whether their spouse's current unemployment status might influence the application and approval process. Commenters suggest that it should be acceptable to indicate 'Unemployed' on the application. Other comments inquire about the impact of overstaying and the length of time for visa approval.
