I applied online via the official website via RTE London for a Single Entry Tourist Visa for a 60-day stay (plus I will get a further 30-day Tourist extension). The application went in on 08 June and as of this morning (12 June) it is still “Processing”. I uploaded all the necessary docs for all questions. Although I realise the Visa application & the Thailand Pass are completely different systems, I got the Pass back in approx 2 hours and as I am due to arrive in BKK on 23 June, I am now getting apprehensive about the Visa! Does anybody know how long RTE takes to issue the visa on average?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user applied for a Single Entry Tourist Visa through the Thai embassy in London and is anxious about the processing time. Though the visa application was submitted on June 8 and is still in processing status by June 12, responses in the comments suggest that visa processing times can vary, with some individuals reporting approvals within 3 to 10 days. It is advised to contact the embassy directly if the processing exceeds the expected timeframe.

As the embassy in London says "Please allow 5 working days for the Embassy to proceed. "

If you still haven't gotten the result after waiting for that days, contact them directly from the information I provided above.

Be patient...

You have plenty of time to get the tourist visa issued Evisa by the UK Thai Embassy.
