Obtaining Mongolian visa in Vientiane, Laos
If my Chinese visa application today goes well I'm hoping to then apply for my Mongolian visa here in Vientiane, Laos.
But I can't find the current location or opening hours of the Mongolian embassy here!
Google maps lists the Mongolian ambassador's residence, but not the Mongolian embassy.
Various unofficial sites with crappy lists of embassies that fill up Google results give an address that looks like a post office box:
Mongolian Embassy in Vientiane, Laos
Q. Wat Nak Km.3
P. O. Box 370
Vientiane
Laos
This makes me not trust the rest of the information they list. Specifically, the hours that many embassies and consulates accept visa applications is often a lot more restricted compared to their general hours of operation.
There is an official page for a Mongolian embassy in Laos, but it barely functions and its two links to visa application forms are both broken.
The only information I can find online from an actual traveller is this one from "Linda" on the Lonely Planet forum from mid 2012, which doesn't offer any details of the embassy's location or visa application hours.

The correct address appears to be :
KM 3, Thadeua Road
Watnak Village
Sisattanak District
Vientiane
This would place it very close to the ambassadors residence, and in the same vicinity as multiple other embassies, including Japan, India, Singapore and Australia (which is at KM4, Thadeua Road). If you get stuck, I'm sure the staff at the Australia embassy would be able to point you in the correct direction.
As others have already suggested you could call them (+856-21-315220) or email them ( vientiane@mfat.gov.mn or possible embmong@laotel.com)
