TLDR : Answer Summary

The processing time for an OA Visa is typically at least 30 days. The Certificate of Entry (CoE) is issued about five days before departure but is not returned with the passport and visa.

30 days at least, you get your COE five days before you leave.. It does not come back with your passport and visa.

Make sure your foreign insurance firm has 3 names and signatures on it..

it’s not a negative attitude. Report me. I am not talking bad. You post false info on these sights. I asked you to stop. Go back to your non o-a posts. You were wrong but still posted false info. Don’t post if you don’t know the answer. Plain and simple

Do not listen to anything Kathy Eagle Justice says. She posts false info just because she had problems with the non o-a visa.
