TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Non-B visa for a work permit in Vientiane, it's essential to gather all necessary documents, including WP3 from your employer and any additional documents required. Visit the embassy's website for specific details. The process typically involves submitting your documents in the morning and retrieving your passport with the visa the next day. Preparation from your employer is crucial, as you must have certain papers ready before applying.

i m a bit surprised on how you managed to got all the documents. You can ask for wp3 only when you already left the country. You will have to send a copy of your stamp out to your company. Then your company will have to ask for the wp3 from labor office, which could be denied for various reasons. Denied or not the process is 6 days long. Only then, when you get your wp3, you can apply for your visa: 2 days more. Expect a 10 days process
