Hi guys.

I've just submitted my application in Laos.

I know you have to go to the embassy to pay in cash.

My question is after submitting my application do I just go ahead to the embassy to make payment or do I wait on an email telling me to go pay?

TLDR : Answer Summary
After submitting your visa application in Laos, you do not need to wait for an email; you can go directly to the embassy to make your payment in cash. It's advisable to pay as soon as possible to avoid any delays.

 I can't imagine what more they could possibly ask me for.

I've given them 6 months UK bank statements, and 2 months Thai bank statements with over 1 million baht in it.

1 yr Muay Thai letter with pictures of me training there attached.

And exit stamp from Thailand and entry stamp with visa in Laos along with airline ticket, hotel booking and a picture of me at the hotel.

Surly there's nothing else they could want lol

 the guys across the road are an expensive tout scam. There is another copy tent immediately to the right (when facing the consulate) on the other side of the coffee shop just 10 meters away.

Interview request usually within a day of payment, the interview itself can be scheduled for anywhere from a few days to a week away.
