What countries (near Thailand) are offering the fastest processing times?

When it was in-person applications, Taiwan was known for being speedy. 

Now that everyone is using the e-Visa system, where should they go?

I have nothing against spending a week in Vietnam, Malaysia, Laos, or Cambodia. I'd still prefer a fast turnaround that's hassle-free. But I'd prefer it NOT to be two weeks or longer!

Thanks in advance,

John

Sweet! Thanks, I am thinking of flying to Vietnam on a Sunday and coming back on the Saturday, but might make it Sunday to following Tuesday, 10 days, 7 are working. VN knows how to process this quickly.

I got some follow-up questions for you and would appreciate your help. PM sent.

I would delete that if I were you, even if it's a small chance of someone reading it, I wouldn't risk your visa being canceled.

I made a post today about my experience in Savannahket in Laos. I got it in 3 working days. But it's still risky here I think, they have a history of being strict.

No place would guarantee it to be approved within one week. Two weeks is the bare minimum, true that a few people has gotten it faster, but those seem to be the exception, not the rule.
