What is the experience of using a service to expedite the visa process in Vientiane?

just thot i would share this. first time to vientiane for setv. i paid for service, ride from friendship bridge to hotel, morning pickup to consulate\embassy, don't know which, but tod will know. the price, which u must negotiate yourself, included ride from hotel, sitting in restaurant drinking a latte', signing my name and adding address, and then to front of line (several hundred people in line). sign one more paper and then get my number for tomorrow. took less than 45 minutes. i know we are not supposed to give out names, but if you want the name of my person, contact me on FB. it is a little expensive, but i cannot stand in line for several reasons, the heat being 1 of the big ones, but swelling feet add to the problem. would pay and do it again. not for everyone, surely, but just thot i would pass on my experience. ta. shalom cheers aloha,

jb

will follow up with what happens tomorrow when i go to pick up my passport.
