My brother.....6 days from filling out Visa application and then mailing passport to Washington DC to leaving for Thailand tomorrow. Have all of your important info like birth certificates, marriage license, house papers, and ID saved on a file to your computer. It makes everything go smoothly

most on here are unsupportive and critical. My Thai visa less than a week. COE took 3 days. Fit to fly and corona tests done within 48 hrs my end, so it’s all doable. Enjoy your trip

Judging by your list of documents to have you may want to specify the type of Visa, since other types likely don't require the same ones (marriage and house documents)

One word, IMPOSSIBLE !!!
Michael ********
Yes my friend just did his in 3 days in Singapore. Preperation is the key
Andy ********
@John *********
why is it impossible. Surely with all the correct documentation in place it is an easy process.

@Andy *******
, how is it negative, I'm stating facts. It will take 6 days to get the 2 insurance certificates for a start. I'm going through all the processes for an O-A myself now. NEGATIVE? I don't think you are going to pass your medical.
Andy ********
@John *********
as I said before, read the post. He had all his documentation in place and saved on his computer.

Please explain the medical you think I need.

@Andy *******
, getting all the documents in place is part of the process, much longer than 6days !!! ???
Andy ********
@John *********
I suggest you start reading posts properly before making comment. Especially negative comments.
Michael ********
@John *********
sounds like trying to justify the impossible statement.
Kathy ****************
@Jo**
exactly...
