Next month will go to Vientiene to apply for the DTV...

Currently living in Bangkok and have proof of residence, Thai bank accounts (with the necessary funds for the last year) and have enrolled in a Muay Thai class (with dtv authorisation documents)

How many days do you think it will take to get the DTV approved once in Laos?

Thanks in advance for your responses

In person in Vientiane takes about three days. Drop off Monday, pick up Wednesday. Drop Tuesday pick up Thursday. Make sure you have an appointment in Vientiane before arriving as that is required. There's a small cafe near the consulate that has coffee and treats, and free wifi. If you need last minute copies of documents, someone outside the consulate has an overpriced copy machine. Best of luck.

residence is where you are, not where you come from. So in this case Bangkok, they would show their rental agreement etc.
