Hello everyone :) i recall reading a post here about a reduction of the number of visa applications being processed in some embassies from 600 to 200 per day. I am about to get a SETV in vientiane and wondering if i should be there super early in case they stop accepting the applications earlier than they used to(once they reach their threshold). Or is it still safe to get there around 10 am?

Thanks to anyone with insight xxx

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired about whether they should arrive early for a Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) application in Vientiane, given reports of limited daily processing numbers at some embassies. Community responses indicate that it may not be necessary to arrive super early, as others have successfully applied around 10 am without issues. However, some recommend getting there early just to be safe.

It's Penang that has the 200 per day limit.

KL has a limit of 200 I believe. Vientiane, I was there last week and met somebody that was number 850 so I don’t think any limit there. Get there early to be safe but last week with the Embassy being closed the guy that was number 850 said he rocked up after 11am and got his visa no problem despite the extra crowds.

I went there 10 days ago at around 10 am, had number 518, so I guess it is ok
