No reports at all to suggest any problem with the embassy at the moment.

Just be prepared for queues - last week the embassy staff reported numbers of applicants as 1,600 people on Monday and 1,300 people on Tuesday.

Tuesday-Thursday always best for pick ups, so aim your application day with this in mind.

Remember that there are 3 available turnaround periods:

Same Day - Must show proof of air ticket for travel that day or the next. Apply morning, pick up same afternoon 15.30-16.30

Next day. - pick up following afternoon

Second Day - pick up afternoon 2 days after applying

Embassy is open 9.00am-12.00pm for applications, 3.30pm-4.30pm for collections.

Just to confirm, my wife went this morning to the Embassy. She went by car (coming from Samut Prakhan) and she has been blocked in a trafic jam for long time, but once there everything was ok: she waited 2 hours in a queue and was number (about) 250 , then other 30 minutes at the desk. She asked for a standard visa in 3 days.
