Hey guys, I applied in Vientiane last thursday, still haven’t received an email appointment. I’d really like to know how long it’s taking people to get an interview?

I’m starting to get pretty anxious about lack of news, and just heard it’s taking some people up to 5 weeks, so just want some feedbacks from success stories and waiting times!

I read reviews that they call you to Vientiane after 5-8 days, maximum 10.

this was what my agent said, she said 14 days longest but now she’s saying may be more!

Thanks for the info ❤️
