TLDR : Answer Summary
The processing time for a NON-O visa from the London consulate typically ranges from a few days to up to three weeks, with many applicants reporting a turnaround of around 3 to 10 working days.

People seem to forget the obvious way of doing things, and keep asking the same questions that had allready been answered in depth.

Everybody considering a visa, should start by reading the Thai Embassy website, where many answers are found, and from the most reliable source.

Many confuse facebook with google, and don’t do any effort to look up answers themselves first.

I’ve said before on these pages, if you don’t like people asking for advice on an advice group page, then maybe you should leave the group.

Most people are happy to help with personal experience and insight.

Some information can no doubt be gained on various government sites but they can be very wordy and often confusing.

Governmental sites are much more trustworthy than any Facebook group, and the information there is need-to-know, as the startingpoint for any travel.

Lazy people who do no effort of their own, and keep asking anonymous the same repeted questions over and over again , instead of using the information allready given in the group, is no asset to the group.
