How long does it usually take to receive an e-visa from the Thai embassy in London?
I have been waiting for my e visa now for 12 days have not received it yet how long does it usually take now I live in the Uk applied at the London embassy
Answer summary
The processing time for an e-visa from the Thai embassy in London varies significantly among applicants. While some have reported receiving their pending approval within 4 business days and full approval taking an additional 5 days, others have waited longer, with one person stating they experienced a 26-day wait. Many users suggested that during the high season, delays can be expected, and it's advisable to apply closer to the flight date for quicker response. If you have applied well in advance, you may need to be patient, as some applicants did not receive their visas until just a few days before departure.

y ago Zuckerberg was still at uni so no face book no thai visa group to ask same questions almost daily. I got an o visa so every 89th day i went to see mother, never doing the 90 day then towards the end of that got a retirement visa. Sit down quietly read what they want thats it.But as we know different immigrations do things differently. I get my statement and letters the day before but some don't allow. If they don't allow how can you get there at 8.30 when they open.

They mostly don't make and send any visa until a few days before you go.
If you ask for it early, it will take long before they send it.
