We are flying into VTE from BKK on Lao airlines, with a one hour connection for a flight (same aircraft I believe) to Luang Prabang. If we arrive with our visa forms filled out an appropriate photos, carrying US passports, Will we have time to have our visa issued and clear immigration/customs. Again, Our bags will be checked through to LP. We leave in just over two weeks, and the surcharges for expedited visas look like they would run $300 or so for the two of us so obviously, a visa on arrival is much preferred.
Anyone have recent experience with visa on arrival at VTE?
