What was the process for obtaining a DTV Visa under the Soft Power category in Vientiane?

Received my DTV Visa (Soft Power - Thai Cuisine) in Vientiane (Ex ED-visa)

I just received my DTV visa under the "Soft Power" category (Thai cuisine) in Vientiane. Here is the timeline of my application:

○​July 3: Submitted application and completed payment.

○​July 6: Requested additional documents (higher quality photo).

○​July 7: Requested bank statements in English. Since I couldn't obtain them in English, I used AI to translate them, which was accepted.

○​July 8: Requested a screenshot of the main page of my banking app.

○​July 12 (Sunday): Invitation for an interview on July 17, later rescheduled to July 16.

○​July 16: Interview at 3:00 PM. Very few questions were asked; I was able to speak Thai with the officer for almost the entire duration.

○​July 16 (7:00 PM): DTV visa received!🥳
