Frequent questions
Which embassies do you work with?
We work with the embassies located in Vientiane and, through our international offices, with missions accredited to Laos from neighbouring capitals.
Do I need to be present?
Usually not. Most embassies accept submissions by an agent. A few require the applicant in person for certain documents — we tell you in advance.
