Has the recent change in the Thai visa application process through embassies speed up processing times?
Hi everyone! With the recent change in the application process requiring you to apply through the embassy in your country of residency, I was curious if this has actually helped speed up processing times.
Has anyone had any experience with this or heard reports on how it is going? Thanks!
