Has anyone recently applied for a non immigrant b visa for teaching in Vientiane? My school has never been through the process before so we're figuring it out together and it's hard to find clear information online. The system changed earlier this year which is why I'd like to hear from people who've done it recently please. 🙏

I believe I need to make an appointment online and then arrive 24 hours before my appointment so that I can upload my Laos arrival card along with all the other paper work (which i already have prepared) Can anyone confirm that arriving 24 hours before my appointment is necessary?

And does it really take 5- 15 days? How long did you have to wait?

I imagined moving things online would make the process more efficient and it used to only take 2-3 days, so the mention of 5-15 days surprised me!

Any insight, tips and recent experiences would be very much appreiated, thanks! 🙏
