Can you receive a Non-O visa earlier than the standard processing time before your flight?
Has anyone ever had their non O visa early. Say a few. Weeks before their flight, or do the embassies always leave it to the last minute
Answer summary
Several community members shared their experiences regarding the approval times for Non-O visas. While some received their visas as early as 10 days before their travel, others noted longer processing times, with one mentioning a pending approval for 23 working days. Specific advice highlighted the importance of applying earlier to avoid stress, and noted that the timelines can vary greatly depending on the embassy or location.

You just applied for it two weeks ago. No need to stress about it just wait. If you wanted it allready by now you should have applied sooner.

I put mine in on the 7thof October but I am 99.9% sure it will need some changes .
I put that I wanted to travel on the 22nd of November .
It still says pending document check , the problem is I will be homeless at the end of the month as I have sold my house and everything else I own .
I can go travelling around the UK for a couple of weeks but I would really like to know where I stand

OPDean Hinder I put mine in on the 6th October. But it’s only saying processing. I think pending means you have it. It’s just getting ready to send out
Dean ********
Alan Bow no , if you click on completed applications it will say pending document check which I think means the visa application has been paid for but is waiting for a human to look at your uploaded documents (please someone correct me if I am wrong ) and check if they are correct .

It doesn't make a difference for a Non-O visa, when it's issued you have 90 days to enter Thailand and once you enter you get stamped in for 90 days
