I have read that it depends on where you are from.

I am from Singapore and I submitted my paper copies for my student visa as well as my wife's partner-ship dependent work visa on the 8th Sept and I have received an email on the 9th that it has arrived in the office in Bangkok.

Keeping fingers crossed that it will be processed quickly.

Thanks!
All the best for your visa.
Please let me know when you get it granted so that I may have a fair idea about the processing time.

Generally, its between 4 weeks for some and almost 5 months for others. Its also about how complete your documents are. All the best.

Hi,

Writing to let you know that the Bangkok office has made a decision and returned the passport. The documents are now at the office where I lodged my application awaiting my wife's partnership visa decision and passport that should arrive soon.

Took me 6 working days including the day submission.

08/09/17 - Student Visa Application lodged in Singapore together with Wife's Temporary Visa
09/09/17 - Received notification from Bangkok office that our documents have arrived.
15/09/17 - Decision made on my Student Visa and passport and documents back in Singapore awaiting my wife's decision before being couriered back to us
