DTV (Soft Power) - Vientiane May 25

I submitted my DTV (Soft Power) application from Vientiane on Monday (May 25). Paid at 10AM Tuesday morning. Just wondering what I can expect in terms of processing times. 

I'm Canadian. 

Soft Power - FitFac - 9 month program

Canadian Bank Statement - 4 Months submitted with enough funds. 

Currently it says "Processing Pending Document Check"

Answer summary

The user has submitted a DTV (Soft Power) visa application from Vientiane and is inquiring about the expected processing time. Comments indicate that the typical processing time is around 10 to 15 business days, but it may be faster. However, the upcoming Thai national holidays on June 1 and June 3 could delay the processing.

Be patient and stay in Laos UNTIL the decision is known.

Note that next Monday and Wednesday June 1 and 3 are Thai National holidays. May affect the processing of your application.

Around 10 -15 business days, can be quicker. There are Thai Public hols June 1 and 3 which may impact speed of approval.
