Hi, may I ask what your timeline was after submitting the application? Were you asked to provide any additional documents?

I submitted my payment on March 4th. So far, I’ve already been asked to upload additional documents twice, and the status is still showing “documents checking.” Just wondering how long it took in your case.

ExcellentRaspberry8614 as long as you are still in Laos, there is no problem. Some people fly to Thailand, while waiting for interview, with other types of Visa (or visa exemption).. and fly back on the day of the interview, that will be a problem and can lead to rejection

But if you are still in Laos, it's ok

They don't normally allow you to reschedule to earlier dates, but later dates are fine
