TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand visa exempt from the UK, the approval process for the Certificate of Entry (COE) typically takes between 1 to 5 days. Responses from the community suggest that while it's recommended to allow a week for the entire process, it usually takes much less time, often completed within the same day or up to 3 days depending on the situation.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the advice. When i arrive in the UK i could probably use 1 week to get myself ready. So thats perfect

I would allow for 3-5 days but more often than not it's done by next day of request.

I allowed 5 days from applying for COE to flying, COE was completed in 3 days then Covid test and fit to fly before flying.

3 minutes to 3 days

They say to allow a week but usually do it very quickly - often same day.
