Had an awesome visa run in Vientiane. Arrived at the embassy on Wednesday, 12 September at 07.30 and was number 29 in line. Counting the time waiting for the gate to open, I was in and out in less than an hour and a half. Went there this afternoon at 13.25 and was out in less than 20 minutes. A couple of repeat visitors said this was highly unusual. Thanks to this group for all of its help.
