How long does it take to hear back after applying for an OA visa at the Thai Embassy in London?

Geoff *******

I've just completed, and paid for my O-A. Screen says 'Please stay on this page. It may take a few minutes'. It's been like that for about 15-20 mins now. How long did you have to wait for the receipt?

Can I book a hotel in Bangkok during a layover without losing my re-entry permit for my non-immigrant O visa?

Geoff *******

Final comment. I've just answered my own query. Where the layover is more than 6 hours, you are considered a domestic passenger and depart the country in BKK. Therefore, my original question does not arise. I have booked a hotel in BKK. Re-entry permit is not affected, although I understand it will cost 200 baht more than in Chiang Mai.

That makes sense but it's not clear on the form...

An easy mistake to make, as the form ostensibly requires a 'visa number', not a re-entry stamp number. I only mention it to help others not make the same error. No big deal...
