basically the VIP part has changed significantly with the crackdown by the government.
What ours consisted of was someone meeting us off the plane and walking us thru to where you pay for your VOA - which never really has a line so that was done quickly - BUT a second person was waiting in the line where you actually queue for the guy to put the actual visa into the passport - and this is the queue that often results in long slow waits. So basically the service was queue jumping by having someone saving us a spot right at the front of the line.
