Applied for a non imm o visa from the London Embassy for an application for a retirement visa.  Roughly how long do they take to get back to you?

Answer summary

The processing time for a non-immigrant O visa application for a retirement visa from the London Embassy can vary. One user mentioned that if all documents are submitted correctly, the processing could be fast, typically within two weeks. However, if additional documents are required, it may take longer. It's suggested to check the embassy's posted processing times as a guideline. Additionally, applying early is recommended since a non-O visa is valid for three months after issuance, allowing flexibility in travel plans.

When is your arrival date you put on the visa application? I had mine approved within the 2 working weeks they suggest (London). They said it could have been earlier but because I had applied 2 months before my trip that they were dealing with more urgent requests first. So it could take upto 2 weeks.

totally depends on how completely you fill out the application. If you get all the documents required uploaded on the initial application they're pretty fast,

Whereas if they have to email you for more documents, etc it pushes the processing time

I'd follow the posted processing time on their website as a guide,

remember no need to apply just before you come here, because a Non-O visa is valid for 3 months from the date it's issued, <- meaning you have that long to enter thailand. So no problem to apply early. ..
