TLDR : Answer Summary
The processing time for a tourist visa varies by embassy, with some reporting approval within 3 to 7 days. It is necessary to send the actual passport to the Thai embassy, along with the application fee and a self-addressed return envelope for the safe return of the passport. The tourist visa is valid for 90 days from the issue date, allowing for a 60-day stay in Thailand upon arrival, with the possibility to extend for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office.

Visa valid 3 months from date of issue I think that after 2 months you need to go to immigration and pay for 1 month,visa first then attach copy of visa to COE you will need hotel SHA confirmation that you have paid for both hotel and PCR, 8,000 baht on the visa I lost 10 days as flight on Friday visa issued 07 July return by 06 October
Mine took just 3 days. Send passport special delivery along with a self addressed special delivery envelope for safe return and the printed copy of your barcode from your online application payment
you tourist visa is valid to enter Thailand upto 90 days from issue date, when you land you will be stamped into the country for 60 days, if you want to stay longer you can get 1 x 30 days extension at a cost of 1900thb, just go to your local immigration when you have no more than 30 days remaining…..the Coe is valid for your flight and departure date only
5 days London done mine last week send Special Delivery and you need to send a Special Delivery label for the return as postage is not included in £60 price

You apply online and then post your passport to the Thai embassy in London
They don’t looks at it untill they have your passport
Mine took 1 week from posting to receiving it back
