What is the average waiting time for Thai tourist visa processing in different countries?
We have applied for our tourist visas nearly 3 weeks ago (in Spain) and they are still pending checks. Is this the average time now? I know there are delays, just wondering what other people are experiencing.
Answer summary
Many applicants report delays in processing times for Thai tourist visas, with experiences varying across different countries. While some users have been waiting for over a month, others have received approvals within 10 days when using a visa service. The waiting time during peak season and recent changes to visa regulations are influencing factors. It is advised to check directly with the respective embassy for specific wait times.

Ask the embassy in Spain. They would have an expected wait time advised when you apply.

All consulates are busy as it's high season and also more people now require a visa due to the recent changes to visa exempt entries

Used a Visa company (thetravelvisacompany.co.uk) got approval in 10 days. Well worth the £35 ($50) each

The Thai Embassy in Madrid doesn’t publish a specific processing time for tourist visas, but recommends applying 1–2 months before travelling. Three weeks pending isn’t necessarily unusual, although I’d suggest contacting the embassy directly if your departure date is approaching.

OPJan Kenneth Nesland Thanks, last time I applied was in May and it was much quicker but they still had 60 day visa exemption so obviously not as busy. I just hope they get a move on as we cannot plan the rest of our trip!

Sol Nawaz That sounds quite likely. We’re also getting close to the peak season for visa applications ahead of Christmas and New Year, so that may explain the longer processing time.

OPJan Kenneth Nesland we'll keep our fingers crossed 🤞🤞🙏
