What time frame have people recently got decisions on their applications from applications through the London embassy?
Answer summary
Recent responses indicate a range of processing times for Thai visa applications through the London embassy. Some applicants received their visas within 4 working days, while others reported processing times of up to 3 weeks. However, the current high volume of applications may affect these times, and additional document requests can reset the processing timeline. Applicants are advised to plan ahead and submit their applications well in advance of their intended travel.

Use search including Embassy name, to avoid asking questions that has been answered numerous times.

You have to read the Embassy website thoroughly and take into account the right now is high season for visa applications.

Most Embassy website gives a very thorough information about processing time.

Additional Documents reset the time counting back to 0, at the day the documents are submitted.

Some Embassies process according to travel date ( to the benefit of the applicant) rathed than application date.

You just have to wait patiently.

I applied on 6th October, received additional document request the next day which I sent on 8 October and was approved on 11 October (4 working days from start to finish)

My partner applied 6 October, received additional document requests next day, he submitted his on 13 October and was approved on 26 October (13 working days start to finish)

We both have flights booked for 24 November.

I applied circa 6th October and it was issued last week, so around 3 weeks for me. I did have a flight booked for the 29th October, so they may have bumped my decision to the top of the pile.
