TLDR : Answer Summary
The processing time for a Thailand eVisa from the UK can vary widely, with reports ranging from as little as 36 hours to as much as 14 days. While some users received their eVisas in under a week, many encountered delays, with applications being stuck in 'processing' or 'pending approval' for several days. Technical issues with the visa application system have also contributed to uncertainty in processing times.

Still waiting , had to change my flights

My e-visa application has gone from 'document check' to 'pending approval' back to 'document check' and has been 9 working days now in the portal. I emailed the embassy in London and they replied that 'The decision will be made within 5-10 working days from the date you submitted and paid for your visa application', so I'm assuming I'll receive approval on Monday, just hours before my flight. The suspense is unbearable.

On their site it says allow 3-5 days, but my application's been in the system now for 8, 'processing' and 'pending approval'.

If you have the correct documentation to upload, then roughly 2 weeks due to certain stages of approval, that’s how long it took me back in September 👍

Today US consulate sent this email:

Visa application system is temporary unavailable due to system maintenance. The system will resume on 16 November 2021 and the processing time might take longer than usual. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Given that they have technical problems with the site it’s unknown as to how long it may take. They’re working on it now but no indication as to when the issues may be resolved.

Starting to think mine is not going to pass thinking about doing another do you know if they ask you to send additional documentation if not up to scratch ?

I submitted my application late Monday evening, they've emailed me today requesting additional documentation

@Neville ******
usually yes. They’ll email you with a response saying your application has been rejected because of Xxx and ask you to submit alternative documents.

Sorry I just don’t know. If they fix the issues they have you may find you get yours soon. There’s just no way to tell at this stage.
