TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry pertains to applying for a Digital Nomad Visa in Laos, including whether the application can be done online or must be done in person at the embassy. It also asks about necessary documents for freelancers, specifically software developers, and the average processing time for applications. Responses indicate that an online application is possible, but an interview at the embassy is required. The processing time is typically 2-4 weeks, and monthly contracts are considered sufficient documentation for freelancers.

You will need to attend the consulate to pay the application fee and you will be called in for an interview

Online application and attend an interview at the embassy. Takes 2-4 weeks. A lot of posts detail docs required . Monthly contracts are fine.
