How long does it take to get a METV when applying from Italy?

Question

I want to apply online for a METV. I am in Italy. I already read on the official site that it says 1 month.
I ask for DIRECT EXPERIENCE ONLY from those who have already obtained it. how many days did they take?
since I would like to use the visa for the maximum time (almost 9 months) and the expiry depends on the moment the embassy issue the visa.

The query is about the duration it takes to receive a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) when applying online from Italy. Based on experiences shared in comments, responses varied from 1 week to as quick as 48 hours in different countries, although actual processing times may depend on the specific embassy's workload. It is suggested that the applicant confirm their embassy's current processing times and consider reaching out to fellow travelers for more tailored advice.

Not Italy, but in the Netherlands I had my METV in 48 hrs after applying the E-visa.

It varies I think, but usually quite fast if everything is in order. And every embassy may be different

I do not have direct (recent) experience, but what we hear in this group and related groups is something like 1-2 weeks. However, even though the eVisa system is online the visa applications are handled by the Embassy/Consulate in your country of residence. How busy they are is highly seasonal and may very well differ from Embassy/Consulate to Embassy/Consulate. So if you really want direct experience then you need someone doing it at the same time of year in Italy. I guess groups for Italian ppl. being tourists in Thailand is where you should try to ask.

I took me 1 week to get my METV, it goes live the moment you receive the visa, so its important to buy your ticket to thailand asap so you can maximize the METV

Does the website say 1 month or "up to 1 month?"

I hope you can find someone with actual experience but the METV is not a common visa.
