TLDR : Answer Summary
The processing time for a Thai e-visa for tourism can vary, with estimates ranging from 5 to 30 days. Applicants have reported experiences of receiving their visa within a week, while others took up to a month. Delays may occur due to holidays or if additional documents are requested by the embassy. It's recommended to check your email for any requests from the embassy and to monitor the application status online.

At the end of last year it took 3 weeks to get a tourist visa. Only after I called them did they do something about it. Before that I sent several emails to the embassy. The embassy asked me to send documents that they already had etc. Terrible service ๐Ÿ˜ก

In my experience it normally takes about a week but remember that if you are applying from the UK to the Thai embassy in London then they may of closed for the Christmas holiday, if your application says it's pending then you should get your visa soon, if you have missed some information then it'll probably be cancelled and you will have to re-apply, hope this helps ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™

It can take up to 30 days to process a visa not counting holidays and weekends.

Regular tourist visa from my experience takes 7-14 in real life terms, but my DTV took a month.

There is not a way to make it go faster either once submitted.

Check your email , they might request for additional documents , and check the status on the website.

Usually it takes from 5 to 7 working days.
