This is kind of visa related, just a bit of fun! 😁

I'm from the UK, I applied for a tourist visa.

Just a little over 24 hours I received an email saying it is accepted/approved 😲

An invitation letter was included in the application, maybe that helped the process? 🤔

Can I say this is a new world record!? 😆

How quick was it for you? 🙂

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user from the UK humorously shares their experience of receiving a Thai tourist visa approval within just 24 hours, prompting others to compare their own visa approval times. Many commenters report similarly quick processing times, with some even mentioning approvals as fast as a few hours. The conversation highlights inconsistencies in processing times between different Thai embassies, with specific praise for the London embassy.

The London embassy has always been on top of things. Probably one of the best if not the best in the world.

It's crazy how different each office can be. Just across the channel is the Thai embassy in Paris which is one of the worst, and possibly the worst in the world.
