TLDR : Answer Summary
The approval time for the DTV visa can vary based on the applicant's location. Feedback from previous applicants indicates a range of processing times: some report approvals in as little as 4 days, while others suggest allowing up to 10 business days. Factors influencing these times include the intended arrival date stated in the application and whether an interview is required. In Laos, specifically at the consulates in Vientiane and Savannakhet, the mandatory interview process may contribute to longer wait times.

The two consulates in Lao (Vientiane AND Savannakhet) have mandatory interview for DTV visa approval, that's what's been taking the time, they have a lag between when you apply, go pay in person, and when they contact you and tell you to come for the interview

Allow for 10 business days… some have been shorter , some

Longer.

From my understanding it also depends on your intended arrival date you write in your application.

People who have put closer arrival dates seem to have go them quicker then someone 2 months out. ( not sure if this is computer generated or not)
