TLDR : Answer Summary
The processing time for the Certificate of Entry (COE) for the Phuket Sandbox can vary significantly depending on the embassy and individual circumstances. While the official embassy website mentions a processing time of up to 15 working days, experiences shared by users indicate that approvals can also be received much faster, sometimes within a few hours. Specific processing times were reported as 12 hours from Madrid, 72 hours from London, and as quick as 20 minutes from Athens, illustrating the variability based on the applicant's location.

It 100% depends on the embassy. Everyone applies on the same website, but it gets processed by the embassy that serves your location. For some it can be 1 day from start to finish, for others it takes the full 15 working days. If you are more specific as to where you are applying you will get a more accurate answer.
