Is it possible for a Thai visa to be processed and ready for collection on the same day it arrives at the embassy?

Hi All!

I have an interesting question. It is possible my Visa was processed on the same day when it arrived in the embassy? My passport arrived yesterday around 11 a.m. and I checked my status for fun today and it says Ready for collection... Or if it was processed this fast mean wasn't accepted?? Sorry for the stupid question, but the embassy website says because of the high demand the process takes 7-10 days....

Anyway, if is any reason not accepted they send you an e-mail or anything or just sending back your passport??

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired whether their Thai visa could have been processed on the same day it arrived at the embassy, noting that their passport status indicated it was ready for collection the very next day. Several commenters shared their experiences with quick processing times, indicating that same-day turnaround for visas is indeed possible, especially if the application was already accepted and paid for online before submission.

It should be fast as it has already been 'processed', accepted and paid for online. When sent in it is literally just to be 'Rubber stamped'.

In Brisbane they turned around my passport with visa same day. I was a walk-in. Also there was only one other customer in the office. So to answer your question - yes it is possible. Did it happen in your case - obviously I don't know

My embassy got my visa at 10am and it was already being tracked on the way home at 3:30 the same day, think they are just being safe with how long it takes and possible holidays
