Update*** I got my Visa today after (Wednesday) submitting it Monday. Pretty fast!

Good luck everyone!

Original post:

Just submitted my Thai E-Visa last night. Does anyone know the typical turnaround time? Also, will I need to physically send anything to my local consulate or is it all covered by the e-visa now? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The original post inquired about the typical turnaround time for a Thai E-Visa after submitting the application, and whether physical documents needed to be sent to the consulate. The user reported receiving their visa in just two days after submission. Comments from others indicate varying timelines, with some experiencing approvals over weekends or within a few days, while others noted potential delays and issues with payment for the E-Visa.

Washington DC approved my whole family, except me in a bit over a week. They told me to wait the process and that the process normally is 15 days and there is a line ahead of me. My process number was first before my families. I had to cancel mine and landed and go the 30 day.

also, does anyone know if it's normal when you check your submitted e-visa application for it to say 'pending payment' rather than 'processing'? thanks
