TLDR : Answer Summary
The processing of visa applications after standard working hours or on weekends at the Thai Embassy can vary by location. While some users reported that visas were issued even on Sundays, others noted that the standard working days are usually Monday to Friday. Specific circumstances, such as pending approvals and the applicant's location, like being in another country or holding a particular passport, may also affect visa issuance timelines.
Henrik *****
Most Thai embassies will issue the visa on email, 1-2 week before departure, to the benefit the tourist.

 do you hold a British passport or have leave to remain in the UK and are actually IN the UK?

If not, I cannot see how they will issue any visa in the UK via Evisa application.

 no you don’t, once you reside in any of the UK territories your application goes to London. You just have to provide your legal status and flight itinerary from the territory. They accepted our documents and it went for approval.
