TLDR : Answer Summary
Applying for a DTV visa from Laos typically involves a month-long process. After arriving in Laos, applicants submit their application online, including uploading their entry stamp. They then visit the embassy or consulate to pay for the application during specific hours. Following submission, applicants can expect to be contacted within 1-2 weeks for an interview appointment, which usually happens about two weeks later. The visa is often granted immediately after the interview.

It's taking about a month in Laos currently.

You go to Laos. Then you submit the application online and upload your entry stamp from your passport.

Then you go to the embassy/consulate between 9-11 AM to pay for your application.

Then you wait and should get contacted in 1-2 weeks with an appointment to come to the embassy for an interview, and that date is usually another 2 weeks after the notification.

After the interview you usually get the visa before you can even get back to your hotel.
