Took me less than 48 hours a couple of months ago, however with the reduction of visa exemption to 30 days, I would allow longer now.

weeks when busy

But they are usually prioritised by date of travel

I know someone recently who applied with only 3 days before travel /

Didn’t get it in time and the embassy then cancelled it in 5 days once they saw he was stamped in visa exempt on entry
