TLDR : Answer Summary
A recent experience shared by a user regarding the Thai embassy in Prague revealed that applications must be submitted electronically, with processing times estimated at 30-45 days. This prompted comments from others detailing their experiences at different Thai embassies around the world, indicating varied processing times: from 1-2 days in Vancouver, about 4 weeks in France, and an ongoing wait of over a month in Los Angeles. Other users suggested alternative methods, such as border crossing to Poland for a faster process. It was noted that many European embassies utilize an e-visa system, which may impact wait times. Additionally, some consulates may have specific processing based on the planned departure date.
I haven't heard anything beyond what they posted on their FB page.

All Embassies with E-visa are closed for personal attendance, and more will follow next month.
The website of most embassies, have information about average processing time, and / or recommended time to apply before departure.
Some are even processing depending the departure date, and not the date applyed.

I believe all of Europe only uses the e-visa platform, so that is not surprising. Also, 30 days is the standard language they always say, at least for the US based consulates. That is why many seem to physically travel to other countries in Southeast Asia.

Just go to Poland, cross the border and rent a hotel (booking confirmation), you will get it done in 7-10 days, all online.

A friend was denied in Poland because he didn't have a current utility bill in his name to prove he lived there. He has a Polish passport.
interesting, in theory hotel booking should be enough, most other countries are OK with that

Southeast Asian countries are okay with it. I don't think that works in Europe.

In Greece they wanted my residency card and a recent utility bill or bank statement to prove I lived there. You have to be a citizen or resident in Greece to open a bank account.
