Answer summary
There are mixed answers regarding whether the Certificate of Entry (COE) can be approved before obtaining a visa for Thailand. Some users mention that you typically need to submit your visa to get the COE, while others state that both can be processed simultaneously. It is important to note that immigration processes might vary by office and that individual experiences can differ.

Luckily it can be done at the same time, but do check, because each office will/could do things slightly different

Like everything to do with immigration law (worldwide) there is latitude for each office, consulate or embassy to do things their way. Whether the visa or CoE is processed first or second what does it matter?

as you can see from the replies there are definitely discrepancies. A friend of mine was issued his CoE and visa at the same time. Kenny ******
OPCheers lads
Sent visa by post but I'm over seas so guess it's going to take a while
Filled in and submitted documents for COE and the got to the part to upload flight and ASQ
For the visa part I just submitted a copy of the evisa application with the paid and completed sign below the bar code
Though I might have been knocked straight back but like I say I got to the next part and uploaded flight details and ASQ
Let's see
