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

Are you complaining about the wait time ? I don’t know why you would go to the one embassy in south east Asia that requires an interview 🤣

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.
