TLDR : Answer Summary
The post inquires about the duration of time it takes to receive a Certificate of Entry (COE) after applying through the Los Angeles embassy for the Phuket Sandbox. One comment mentions a personal experience of receiving pre-approval in just over 2 hours from the UK embassy.

Chucked my hat in the ring at the UK embassy today and got pre approved in just over 2 hours.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated. Just a quick question. How long in advance did you start the process ? I’m hoping to fly out 1st week in November, so was thinking of starting to apply early October, about 4 weeks before my travel date. Is 4 weeks about the right time to apply before actually flying ? Thanks again

I'm flying 2 November MAN-DXB-BKK. 4weeks would easily be enough time

Morning Will, can I ask if you applied for your pre approved coe before doing anything else, and once you got the pre approved coe you booked hotels flights insurance and attached to the pre approved coe ? I’m hoping to travel in November so just looking into what’s needed and what order. Cheers 🙏🏼

insurance has to be submitted for pre approval and after that you have 15 days to submit your full itinerary.
