Hello gents, just an update on my Vientiane visa run. Went there today at approximately 7 am and there was already about a 100 ppl in line. So I paid a guy 2000 baht to cut the que and revise and write all my details in the application. He kept it simple. he even didn't fill in stuff like telphone number and email in country of residence and he placed my country of residence same as my passport even though I live somewhere else. He took copies of my Thai visa my last visa my Thai departure stamp and my laps arrival stamp and 2 photos. He assured me a visa by tomorrow no matter what. He cut the que for me. I went from 100 to number 19. Gave the lady my papers . She wrote 19 on my application and handed me the ticket and said pick up tomorrow afternoon so I'm assuming I got the visa and dodged a denied visa. Went outside handed the guy my pick up ticket and he said come here tomorrow at 1:30 pm. His name is Mr. Mon you can find him sitting outside on the far left of the consulate. Left about 9:30 am all in all simple
