How long does it take to obtain a non-B visa in Vientiane and when can I book my return flight?
Having to go to Vientiane to get my non b visa this next week. I see it takes about 3 days to get… I’m wondering if anyone has any experience on if I’ll get the visa that third day in the morning/noon? I’m need to book my flight back and I’m wondering if a 2 o’clock flight will be late enough or could I still be waiting for my visa by then?
Thanks

Answer summary
The processing time for a non-B visa in Vientiane typically takes 48 hours, not including the day you apply. It is recommended to schedule a flight for after 1 PM on the second day of processing, as the passport may not be ready until then.

Vientiane takes 48 hours to get your passport back, don't forget to take an appointment as walkins are not allowed.

Firstly you need an appointment. Then there is 2 days processing time excluding the day you apply. So you get your passport back in the afternoon of the 2nd processing day. I suspect there's no way your going to catch a 2pm flight. Best you can hope for is getting your passport back at 1pm and it may be a bit later
