1. Applied on 18 Jan (Sunday)
2. Went on 19 Jan (Monday) and got my proof of payment paper printed from the men accords the embassy
3. 20 Jan (Tuesday - my stays changed from document check to pending approval)
4. 23 Jan (Friday) got an email saying approved.
I do have to say I had everything lined up perfectly on my application. My business license from IRS showing EIN, State registration of my LLC, recent client payments via stripe, tax return, college diploma, resume, train ticket for leaving Thailand.
You may get your visa faster if you make your entry to Thailand date 7 days out from application. BUT this is only if you have everything lined up like I did.
Any other questions?
