If you’re thinking of coming to Vientiane for a visa run. Please allow your self extra time for processing. A bunch of had appointments and had all the information needed for ED and Work permits. We all have been delayed an extra day. Just letting you know as we all got stuck here an extra night and missed flights.
Answer summary
