That's the kind of thing that you'd specify in the contract between you 
and the client.

Or, if you didn't do that, you could try putting a "payment terms: XX 
days" on the bottom of the invoice.

But anyway, most clients will expect to pay an invoice about a month 
after receiving it. Some clients ask for 90 days to pay. I avoid those 
clients.
