Ordinary visa processing time:

The Thai Embassy in China clearly announced that all kinds of visas need three working days. According to years of experience, the normal processing time for tourist visas in Thailand is 5-8 working days, and the processing time for business visas in Thailand is 10- 12 working days. If the applicant goes to the agency, in addition to the visa processing time, it is also necessary to calculate the express delivery time (about 2-3 working days).

The above time (working days) is the normal processing time when the embassy issues visas; In case of special reasons, such as political interference, holidays, internal staff adjustment of the embassy, visa printer failure, etc. The issuance of visas may be delayed and the time will be longer;

Time of visa on arrival:

Visa on arrival is processed at the airport. Applicants need to apply for China landing approval in advance. Landing approval takes 1-2 working days, and it takes about 2 hours to arrive at the airport for landing visa.
