All submitted and pick up tomorrow at 14:00 hopefully.
Lack of experience doing this, but we arrived to the bridge at about 7:40am and got touted by a pick up truck/taxi to take us to a different office to take a picture of my daughter for her border pass the bring us back to the bridge to pass immigration and he assisted/escorted us through the immigration desks etc, took us directly to the consulate, assisted showing us where to get the form (as I didn't have mine printed) waited outside the consulate for 45mins and then dropped us to the hotel.
Now sat enjoying a beerlao whilst the missus has her afternoon nap 😡
So arrive at 07:45. Cruise through the checkpoint. Tuk Tuk to the consulate hand in the paperwork before 11:00 and collect the next day. Simple as that?
