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 user is inquiring about the processing time for a Thai non-ED visa applications submitted online at the embassy in Vientiane. The official website estimates a processing time of 5-10 days, and they're curious if this is an accurate timeframe. A comment suggests that if there are no interviews involved, the processing could be closer to 5 working days post-payment.

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.
