Paul, you'll have to apply to the Canberra Thai consulate, mine was approved just over 48 hours after application. lf you apply too soon you will lose days, as once the visa is approved the 90 day period commences. l applied 7 days before travel and l believe was approved quickly because my departure date was close. Hope this helps.

@Ralphy ****

l was very surprised when it arrived so quick. l have been several times before but only on visa on arrival and have a clean police record, but l believe the fact l had a flight booked so close to applying may have helped....

Hate to brag, but l did my online application through Canberra last Tuesday 6.30am and received evisa 10.30am Thursday, non immigration O...l arrived Thailand Monday morning! l think maybe having put my flight down as departing Sunday it was rushed through, not sure, but extremely happy with the result.
