Does anyone know how long it takes to get a SETV? London Thai consulate says at least 10 working days and recommended applying 4-8 weeks before travel. I think it only took a couple of days when I last did it early in 2022.

If anyone has done it recently or can advise please let me know.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The processing time for a Short-term Tourist Visa (SETV) from the Thai consulate in London is usually at least 10 working days, as recommended by the consulate, which suggests applying 4-8 weeks before travel. However, some users have reported quicker processing times, with one stating it took only 2-3 working days based on their experiences. Recent reports indicate that submitting a visa application through the Evisa online system can also lead to faster processing, potentially within a few days if all requirements are met.

We have seen reports of the Thai Visa being issued by the UK Thai Embassy using the Evisa online application system within a few days from your application date...if you submit the requirements for the visa correctly.
