TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion reveals that several individuals have experienced visa rejections even after their applications were marked as pending approval. Comments suggest that pending approval does not guarantee a successful outcome, as it often indicates that documentation is being reviewed rather than final approval. The conversation highlights common concerns among applicants regarding the visa application process in Thailand.
