Im assuming that it takes 3 weeks because the embassy‘s website says so haha. I was surprised, too, since last year they were much quicker. Thanks for the suggestions! So if I get an SETV before coming, it’s not a problem to change it to ED when I’m in Chiang Mai, right?
But isn't the covid extension meant to be used in cases where you can't fly home because of covid? I'm from Germany and there are planes leaving every couple hours haha, so I am not sure how eligible I am for this
