ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello Group.

Just an info share. I submitted a non O visa request via the website at the Thai Embassy in London on the evening of the 24 June and received it approved this morning, 1 July. 3-4 working days, Very efficient. I know a few people have been asking on timescales, so thought I’d share my experience. Flight leaves in 8 days time 😊

The best way to contact most Thai embassies is through Facebook messenger. Find the embassy on Facebook and send a single, precise message so they do not get confused. Name, application number, passport number, and question, all in a single message.

Thanks for the update. London is pretty well know for its turn around times. Typically 3-5 business days (if all documents submitted correctly).
