TLDR : Answer Summary
The minimum timeframe for sending your passport to the Thai embassy for a visa sticker is generally suggested to be 10 days if you're living in New South Wales, and at least 2 weeks if you're from other states. Some users have reported successful visa processing in less than 24 hours with pre-approval and using express courier services, totaling around 10 days. Additionally, users noted that the embassy may request updated documents, highlighting the need for careful preparation in your application.

They have just sent an email asking us to resubmit bank statement including todays date. Even though their form says a statement in the last 6 months on the application. This info may help someone else in the future.

I did pre-approval, got approved in less than 24 hours then paid pack and send express both ways from Perth all up 10 days

thanks, it’s a touchy one when sending your passport away with a holiday planned isn’t it.

If you're living in NSW, I'd suggest 10 days. If living interstate, I'd allow at least 2 weeks. Just to be on the safe side.

thanks. Hopefully hear back today or tomorrow and that will be a full 3 weeks, but that includes ANZAC day too. Very nervous.
