How long does it take to get a SETV from the Thai consulate in London?
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.

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.
