ORIGINAL POSTER
Hey guys I’m currently in Thailand I am going to Vientiane to apply for my DTV. I have filled out all the documentation besides proof of location as I will have to show proof that I am out of Thailand using the Laos entry stamp.

I was wondering once I have entered Laos and I have submitted my application via E Visa website. How long will take roughly for the application to be processed as I currently sorting out accommodation.

Any information would be greatly appreciated

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the processing time for a DTV visa application after entering Laos and submitting the application online. Commenters provide insights indicating that notification for payment and potential interviews occurs within days, and the visa is typically issued 4-5 business days after payment or on the same day as the interview.

If Vientiane you will be asked in for an interview appointment within a day of payment, expect 4-5 business days after payment or usually the same day after interview.

Depending where you were from they could call you for an interview It took them 7 days to call me back.

You will get a notification to turn up and pay at the Embassy then, according to posts I've seen, the eVisa is issued within a few days after payment
