Pretty sure I just broke the world record for the longest waiting time ever 😅

Are we even surprised by the Paris Embassy ?

Applied on August 23rd, and still waiting..

Do you know if the timer is reset when they ask for extra documents ? (I was ask for another photo on September 9th)

There are those that wait longer...

Also be aware that, if the date that you plan to travel to Thailand is too far ahead, it is common that embassies put applications "on hold" and approve/issue the visa closer to the intended travel date.
