I applied in Vientiane on the 18.07.25 and got today my date for the interview. Its on the 06.08.25. So right now- July 25- you have to expect 2-3 weeks processing time for DTV in Laos.

I saw a post recently someone asked laos if they can have their interview closer because they needed to fly out by then. You could try your luck
Not sure if I am complaining. Its rather a information for everybody. But you are right. I dont know if I would apply again in Vientiane. It seems to take longer than e.g. in Hanoi and many people dont like Vientiane. Laos people are VERY friendly though and that was a nice experience so far. On the other hand the city is full of "uncultivated chinese" 😉
You can contact them and ask for an earlier interview. Someone did that last week and got it changed and i know another person who did the same last month.
