Depends on your flight date also. You have to get the documents exactly right

I came to Thailand with nothing more than a passport and a pension scheme. Within 2 weeks after arrival I had a Non O A visum, a bank account and a Thai telephone number. I did'nt have and still don't have 800.000 THB in the bank, a health insurance or a lease agreement, but yes I used the service of an agent.

I most wait 2 weeks and 4 days

3 weeks is not abnormal I think for the moment because the coming high season 5 weeks is average in the Thai Embassy in Britain, If you come to the next status it is mostly one or 2 days longer to be aproved if all documentation is good

Mine was pending in the UK last year on the Thursday and I flew on the Sunday . So on the Friday I made a trip by train to the Thai embassy in London showed the lady my application and at 7pm that evening it was accepted. Now I have 0 idea if it was me going to the embassy or if it would have been accepted on the Friday anyway . But it could be worth a try

Mine was evisa application from Australia. Nearly 6 weeks on pending and after emails and phone calls, i was notified a few days before planned departure date that it was not approved. I ended up using an agent. Smooth process for a price but it was worth it.

Michael Savage I've been getting Thai visas in Aus for 36 years and I've never heard of agencies that do this locally. Who is the agent and where are they based? Was it a walk in office or did you do it online?

Ling Gah. Hi. The Thai Visa Centre is excellent. All organised in a day via emails. VIP arrival and 15 month visa based on retirement sorted in just under a week.

Not to be a tool here, but every time I see one of these posts, I am reminded that using an agent was money well spent. The cost of my visa was 10K Baht; the agent cost me 6.5k Baht, and all I did was send them my docs… they tool care of the rest. Three weeks later, it was done.

I don’t know what life experience you have, but everybody is different. Some people’s brains and abilities are not set up for paperwork.
Do you think that when you see a guy standing in a foot of concrete swinging funnel around on the back of a cement truck in the hot sun that he’s doing it because he likes to out in the fresh air rather than sitting in an office fighting legal Case for somebody and then driving back to a luxury home in a Porsche ?
You are a tool my man. People come here for help not to receive smart comments and digs about how you’re cleverer than them.
Your old but obviously your years have not produced a well rounded wise man at the end.
