How long does it take to get a Tourist Visa for Thailand from London?
Has anyone applied for a Tourist Visa in London recently? If so how long did it take for the visa to be authorised? I understand they state its currently 15 working days but was wondering if people have been getting earlier than 15 days.
Answer summary
Experiences with applying for a Thai Tourist Visa in London vary. While the official website states it may take up to 15 working days, some users reported receiving their visas faster, typically within 2-3 business days. However, recent comments indicated delays, with one person waiting 14 days and another experiencing a longer wait of 20 working days due to peak holiday season. Additionally, some questioned the necessity of a visa given previous exemptions.

60 days visa exempt. No real value in getting the visa

Are immigration refusing entry to people with tourist visas if they have a few 60 day exemptions and some extensions in they're passports

Mine took 20 working days (28 days in total). They are ensuring you get it in time for travel - but not quickly

At present london due to the peak holiday season has been taking around 14-16 working days. My visa took 14 days

London is usually very fast, 2-3 business days. But expecting that when the website says up to 15 days can lead to disappointment.
