they are currently on it now. I applied through the church. The church organization pays for the visa, but I'll be volunteering them. I was just afraid that most immigration officers don't let people border hop more than twice now.... so I may need to go somewhere to wait until my visa is ready and then go retrieve it in Vientiane.
it's a legit visa. My friends are on on it right now. It's through a Christian organization. They also told me it took them 5 months. But they were staying in multiple countries to wait for the paperwork. I just want to know if I can country hop while waiting.
