okay, I think the O/P will find out on Monday whether they have a valid visa on their passport or whether they' start over from square one.
Seeing as there's only those two scenarios I think we're done here.
I do know of several people who failed to pick up their passport for one reason or another up in Vientiane and they all had the visa voided and needed to apply again.
Ive read on other posts that if you go the next working day with the ticket and be humble and aplogetic, they will give it back with the visa intact. But call them anyway and leave a message so they know to hold it first thing Monday.
