Phuket Sandbox current application duration for an OA Visa? Can someone tell me how long it took him to complete all the paperwork from first start hotel reservation to full package ready to fly? I am guessing 2 months should be OK? Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The duration for applying for an OA Visa under the Phuket Sandbox program varies based on the applicant's location and embassy. While one respondent reported it took them only two days to complete the process through the UK embassy, another noted that the process is more complex for US applicants, requiring mail or online submission. A German applicant inquired specifically about the Frankfurt consulate, indicating that processing time may depend on multiple factors.

That’s a hard one to call. It depends on what embassy you’re going to use. Some won’t allow an application for a certificate of entry prior to 30 days. Some will.
