Hi!

Quick question — for those who submitted their application through the Royal Thai Embassy in Canberra, how long did it take for your visa to be processed?

I applied on April 27th under the Soft Power Muay Thai visa and I’m planning to leave Australia on May 21st, so I’m trying to get a better idea of timelines.

Thank you!

Answer summary

The visa processing time for applications submitted through the Royal Thai Embassy in Canberra varies. One commenter reported receiving their DTV visa within about 15 days without needing additional documents, while another mentioned a total processing time from application submission to approval of approximately three weeks, including the request for extra documents. Timelines may be affected by the need for additional documents, which can reset the processing clock.

/2026. I did need to submit extra documents. The initial check and request for additional documents was < 5 working days and I submitted extra documents that day but then waited a long time for final processing.

You should be okay 👍

Unless the Thai Consulate requests additional documents from you.

Which then resets the processing clock.
