What are the current visa approval times for METV applications at the Washington DC Thai Embassy?
Washington DC Evisa turnaround.
My visas have been approved very quickly in recent years via Washington DC. Typically 6 - 8 days. I applied for a METV today for arrival Dec 4. It sounds like I might be screwed.
Anyone have recent experiences with DC approval times?
I'd reschedule if I had any idea how long it might take.

They post on their website 3-5 business days with the caveat that it could take longer during "high season"
Not much you can do, and I understand the need to apply for an METV as close to when you're flying as possible so you don't burn the visa validity down before you get here
