TLDR : Answer Summary
The turnaround time for the DTV (Thai visa) application in Australia typically ranges from 48 hours to about 3 business days. However, applicants are advised to check the Thai embassy's website for updated processing times, especially during peak periods when delays may occur. Additionally, contacting the embassy in Canberra can provide further assistance.

Look at their website.

Now is the busiest time of year, so processing may be slower.

You can also give the Thai embassy in Canberra a call. The ladies I spoke to were super helpful

I heard a mention of the 500k needed to be in the account for 3 months prior to the application. Is this true?

Thank you so much

it’s been so hard to get clear answers. I have one last one if that’s ok? Do you know if there are any stipulations around the 500,000 BHT in a bank account? I have a CommBank statement with the required closing balance required for the visa application.

that’s such a vote of confidence. Can I ask what you done when entering the return flight details? As it’s such a long visa it seems weird this is a criteria?
