ORIGINAL POSTER
I’m going to apply for a Thai non-ed visa at the embassy in Vientiane. I’m aware of the new method of submitting documents online then paying in person. Does anyone have knowledge of how long this typically takes? Website says 5-10 days but I’m hoping maybe that’s a conservative estimate. If anyone has done this recently, please let me know how long it took

TLDR : Answer Summary
The typical processing time for a Thai Non-ED visa after submitting documents online at the embassy in Vientiane is estimated to be around 5-10 days. However, it is suggested that it could take approximately 5 working days if no interview is required.

I'm not sure if they're doing interviews for ED visas or not. But 5 working days after paying is likely close to what it would be if there's no interview.
