What is the average timeline for Visa application approval in Europe before purchasing airline tickets to Thailand?
I'm interested in the freelance and wondering about the timeline for application to approval for purchase of airline tickets? I know it will be different for all embassies but what is the range or the longest someone has waited for an approval? I would be applying from Europe. TYIA
Answer summary
The timeline for visa application approval can vary significantly when applying from Europe. Comments suggest that processing times range from as quick as one day in London to about a month in Paris, with an average of around 7 to 14 business days in most European locations. It's advisable not to purchase airline tickets until your visa is approved or to choose tickets that allow for free cancellation.

In Europe, the processing time is usually around 10–14 days, depending on where you apply and how strong your application is. If your documents are well-prepared and there are no additional requests, it should not take longer.
