I think we'll just have to get Leo to visit an immigration lawyer when he goes back to Laos, and hope for the best.
@frequent -- I'm not looking for a job in Laos. I have work for me covered. However, what I do need is a long-term VISA, because being an illegal immigrant sucks. I could be wrong, but I'm assuming Laos must have something similar to Thailand. Start a small business (eg. internet cafe, restaurant, etc.), provide employment for X Laos citizens, and get a VISA. Leo would run the shop, while I'm busy doing my software thing. We'll just tell the government I run it, so I don't have to worry about VISAs anymore.
A compassionate farang 'frequent' already stepped forward, and offered to help you in this thread.
And I did, too. Waiting for your phone call, Matt!

WhiteMouse ... please take into consideration that you might well be arrested by the police for helping out Matt (in Thailand or Laos ... in fact I'm pretty sure Sri Lanka will be next on CndMatt's list.)
Let us know if you get a call. Thousands haven't.
Just another reason why I love living in Thailand

And your expectations were.....?
Oh, for fuck sakes.... are there by chance any good hearted farangs in Khon Kaen out there who can help me fill out a passport application? We tried, it didn't work.
Then Leo gets angry at me for going crazy. Well, no shit, try being blind.
OK, I'm game - a passport application? You're renewing your Canadian passport or Leo is applying for a Lao passport?
Always the victim eh?
There's a name for that kind of neurosis, but I can't remember it.
And by the way ... I have legal copyright of the phrase " ... Oh, for fuck's sake ... ". So back off buster and figure out you own cliche.

Canadian passport. We have everything -- printed forms, manilla envelopes, photos, references, etc. Problem is, I can't see the fucken form, so I can't fill it out. Leo did his best, but it wasn't workable.
There is no such thing as 'refrences' when applying for Canadian passport.
You need to put more effort into your stories, Matt!
A guarantor is needed when applying for Canadian passport. Just one. You will now turn around and say that by 'refrences' what you really meant is a gurantor, fine! I can be a guarantor for you, I have a valid Canadian passport, as your luck has it, I am in Thailand right now. So I can help you with a form, and I can be your guarantor!
Here is the important bit about the guarantor:
Guarantor:
All non-simplified passport applications require a guarantor who has known the applicant personally for at least two years.
If the passport application is for a child, the guarantor must have known the parent (applicant) for at least two years.
Who may act as your guarantor:
1/ An individual with a valid Canadian passport:
Any individual holding a full validity five- or ten-year Canadian passport that is valid or has been expired for less than one year on the day the applicant submits the application.
This individual must have known the applicant for at least two years.

After we have spoken, I'm going to ask Moses to edit this post and remove the tel nr.
Speak to you soon, Matt!
