5-7 days from the Embassy.

However, an Ambassy always

take longer.

they try to process visas closer to the departure date, because the visa is valid from when they grant it

Anyone with a passport from a country in the EU can only get a visa from the online eVisa website, they can also get 30 days visa exempt entry at the airport which, as the name suggests, is not a visa which costs 2000B

@Jonas *******
no you cannot get a Visa on Arrival at the airport as no EU passports can get that, they get visa exempt entry (see below)

Philippe Tchekouteff dat is nog meer dan 25 dagen, als er iets ontbreekt zal je op tijd verwittigd worden, denk ik. Ik vond het ook stressvol, een mail dat alles ok is en het visum op ‘die datum’ zal goedgekeurd worden zou klantvriendelijk zijn.

Andy Deketelaere Is ook gevaarlijk, als bepaalde documenten niet innorde zijn kan je nooit visa op tijd hebben.

PS: denk dat ze nu veel aanvragen hebben voor mensen die gaan overwinteren in Thailand zoals ik.
