TLDR : Answer Summary

The comments discuss the processing time for a Thai tourist visa at the Washington DC embassy/consulate, which is stated to be 5 days. There is also a mention of confusion regarding whether the 60-day tourist visa can be applied for outside of one's home country. Additionally, some comments express opinions on the lengthy processing time compared to other countries.

Why it ever took 14 days is beyond me. Even 7 days is way too long. Every other country can issue a tourist visa in 2-3 day tops. Even "paranoid" countries like Myanmar with bad relations with western countries.

"for all nationalities"?

Really, I thought tourist visa 60 days can only be applied for while being physically present in your own country? When did they loosen the requirement?

I’m not understanding you. I was replying to your statement that you thought you “had to be physically present in your own country”.

for example, as a German in the Philippines, I cannot apply for the 60day visa. I need to be in Germany to be allowed to apply.

So I am surprised that the Thai Embassy in USA accepts applications from non-US citizens

I think you may have been misinformed. For example, I’m American. If I were in Vietnam for a month and decided I wanted to see Thailand for a few months next, it would be ridiculous to require me to fly all the way back to the states just to apply for a 60 day tourist visa. If it were true, Thailand would lose a huge amount of tourists who want to travel around the region.
