TLDR : Answer Summary
The approval time for a Thai e-visa can vary widely. While some users report receiving their visas in as little as one day, others have experienced waits of 3 to 4 weeks or even longer. Common processing times mentioned include 10-15 days, with one individual noting a wait of 12 days for themselves and 20 for a family member. It's also advised to check spam or junk email folders, as important communications may end up there unseen.

Common mistake I have seen over the years is check your spam, junk, trash or other folders. See 2 co-workers cuss Thai government for 2 weeks for no answer and the whole time they had answered in about 10 hours. Only took me 1 day before but my response went to regular e mail.

That was my experience almost two years ago including two weekends one being Thanksgiving and having to submit an additional document they requested.
