Where are Thai visa approvals processed, locally in the UK or in Thailand?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Applied London 25/8. More info 27/8 approved 10/9. The email came through at 22.00. I wonder if they approve in Thailand or locally? 🤔
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the approval process for a Thai visa application submitted in London, where one user shares their timeline of application and approval. Comments reveal that at least one other user experienced a similar swift approval, and there are insights shared about doing necessary preparations like TDAC (Thai Digital Arrival Certificate) prior to travel. Others clarify that many visa applications are approved locally in the respective country, with only a few exceptions requiring approval from Bangkok.

Doesn’t really matter where, as long as approved.
Many compagnies also send their mails after office hours,

Aww congratulations ☺️, I also think this is the best time to apply when tourism is down and during raining season. Especially before the busy season :).

I received my DTV approval at 11.10pm. Only thing I can think of is they’re automated to go out.

Anonymous participant 436 Or the Consular Officer who gives final approval ticks the box in batches when they have time. I think someone from the Embassy in UK posts in here. They will know.
