TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers considering a visa run to Vientiane should allow extra time for processing. Many individuals with appointments for ED and Work permits experienced delays and were stuck for an additional night, resulting in missed flights. Reports indicate that the consulate is verifying all ED visas, which may lead to additional processing times of up to 3 days.

There has been cases where people applied with dodgy paperwork, so they do check more throughout and call the relevant Ministry to confirm.

 Not sure. I called my school and they said that everything was correct as they set up my packet. At 515pm the consular called the school to verify information. Not sure about the other people that’s what happened to me.
