Will I Receive My Tourist Visa in Time Before My Flight to Thailand?
Hi, left it very late but finished SE tourist visa application this evening and will post passport and barcode tomorrow to London Embassy.
Flight to Thaliand is next Thursday (21st November). Will there be sufficient time to get my passport and visa back? Or shall I try and make an appointment at the consulate in Liverpool (admittedly at more expense)? Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

You may want to find out what the actual turn around time is NOW for postal applications. I have reports of 3 and 4 weeks wait now for walk in appointments. I guess due to the Christmas holiday applications
