How long does it take to get a Thai tourist visa from the UK?
Just thought I would let you know that I applied for a 60 day tourist visa for my mother, submitted it last Sunday and it was approved on Friday, I am in the UK.
Answer summary
A user shared their experience of applying for a 60-day tourist visa for their mother, which was approved in just five days after submission. Other commenters confirmed similar quick processing times for visa applications from the UK, noting that the Thai Foreign Ministry aims to issue visas within a week if the application is correctly submitted, particularly through their online Evisa system. However, experiences may vary, as one user reported waiting three weeks using the same system.

Yes 💯 correct ✅Andy *******
@Andy ******
not usually needed for tourist visa. Upload your first few hotel reservations again.Andy *******
@Andy *********
really, I looked today (not on the actual form) bit on the Thai embassy website and that’s what it said..maybe I read it wrong…So it’s just flight details, money, hotel booking, passport, insurance!?

@Andy ******
also, insurance is no longer required for tourists, the form is never updatedAndy *******
@Andy ******
I came 2 years ago and the stranger items, like Thai sponsor were not required for short stay/tourist. What you list sounds correct.James ********
Thank you for your helpful report.
Glad your Mother will soon be joining you in Thailand. Safe travels ✈️
From reports from the Thai Foreign Ministry, it's their aim to issue Thai visas within 7 days of your application.
The Key 🗝️ is your uploading /providing the requirements for the Thai Visa.
