i’m applying for thialand visa from united state anyone know how long is thier turnaround time?

Answer summary

The turnaround time for a Thailand visa application from the United States varies by embassy jurisdiction. Generally, applicants can expect around 2 weeks from the Los Angeles and Chicago embassies, with DC stating up to 4 weeks but recent approvals have occurred in as little as 13 days. The New York embassy may take between 1 day to 8 weeks. It is important to apply within the jurisdiction of your residence, as using the wrong embassy can lead to application denial.

Keep in mind it depends how quick the FBI wants to release your criminal record. And if there are certain items in that report you might as well keep the money in your pocket.

Which embassy covers your state of residence? You can’t pick the embassy or consulate you use. You must live within it's jurisdiction or they will deny your application. That being said LA and Chicago are the fastest (about 2 weeks, but they say expect 1 month). DC says 4 weeks, but someone just was approved last week in 13 days. NY is up to 8 weeks turnaround time.

Anonymous participant 294 ever tested the theory? Asking because one guy said he never uses his embassy of jurisdiction.

check the embassy/consulate website. It says you must apply within the jurisdiction of your address. You're more than welcome to test the theory yourself :) just might cost you an extra $400
