How long does visa processing take in different locations for Thailand?

Dec 2, 2024

The wait can be frustrating. Those who have applied and received a feedback, how long did it take you all? Can you comment the location and the processing time it took?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Community members shared their experiences regarding visa processing times from various locations. Feedback included: HCMC in Vietnam: 6 business days; Sydney, Australia: 11 days (application dated Nov 21, approved Dec 1); Los Angeles, USA: 1 month; Rome, Italy: 2 days after proof of flight; Jakarta, Indonesia: 4 working days with assistance; Singapore: 6 working days; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: 10 working days after corrections. It was noted that processing times may vary, especially with the transition to e-visa systems, leading to increased wait times in some cases.

after some embassies and consulates switched to the e-visa system, the processing time doubled, compared to the time needed when applying in person. So other people's experience cannot really been compared to your situation
