TLDR : Answer Summary
The average visa processing time for both Vietnam and Indonesia is about 2 to 4 weeks. One user specifically mentioned obtaining a visa for Indonesia in 24 days. Generally, if you're considering speed, both countries have relatively short waiting times compared to the longer process for a 5-year visa to stay in Thailand.
