Vientiane Visa Advise.

I'm going to get a SE tourist visa on Monday.

I'll be flying to Udon Thani on Sunday and spending the night there.

Can people advise how I can get to Vientiane for Monday morning. What is the best way to get from the city to the border- then from the border to the Thai embassy? is there any cost for entering Laos?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The original poster is seeking advice on traveling from Udon Thani to Vientiane to obtain a SE tourist visa. They plan to spend the night in Udon Thani before heading to Vientiane on Monday morning. Comments suggest taking a minivan or bus, with specific travel costs mentioned for both transportation options and visa fees upon entering Laos. Additionally, advice regarding accommodation in Nongkai for convenience and timing for reaching the Thai embassy is provided.

but the Monday queue is always bad- why not spend a night in Vientiane and go on Tuesday?

thqt is why Nongkai is a better choice- you save at least 45 minutes, possibly an hour and a quarter

spend the night in Nongkai on the river- it is much nicer and much more convenient to get to the embassy in the morning.
