How long does it take for a tourist visa application to be processed before flying to Thailand?
How long does it take to be processed will it be before 2 weeks. Left it a bit late as my flight is on the 25th but yeah does anyone know how long it takes before I get a reply ? (Applied for tourist visa for 60 days.)
Answer summary
The response to tourist visa applications can vary by location, with users reporting processing times from 2 working days to several weeks. Some have successfully received their visas in as little as 2 days through the London embassy, while others have experienced longer delays, such as 2 weeks or more. It's important to submit applications as early as possible, especially with flights approaching.
