Has anyone recently been approved for a visa through the Frankfurt Consulate?

Has anyone been approved from Frankfurt Consulate in the last few weeks? I feel like they shut down everything and no one is working there anymore.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Users report delays and issues with visa applications at the Frankfurt Thai Consulate. Experiences shared include a change in application status to 'Pending approval' only to revert back to 'Document check.' Some individuals have reported significantly longer waiting periods, with one person noting a 4-month delay and others facing rejections without explanation. A suggestion was made to apply for a tourist visa and travel to another Asian country for visa processing.

I asked in this group about the embassy in Frankfurt a month ago. The answer where that people waited min month or more, one guy even 4 months. Also a few people got rejected from Frankfurt embassy with any further notice why. I decided to go again with the tourist visa and then fly form here to any other Asien country to apply for it .. good luck 🍀

Frankfurt has been a drag, compared to the other stories and processing times shared here. I have been waiting for a longer time now as well

I already provided the additional docs 1 day after my initial submission. For now on, it’s just waiting. It’s probably done after my arrival date…

Anonymer Teilnehmer i think they don't care about the arrival.

I went to pending approval yesterday. I applied October 1st and uploaded further documents on 15th October.

27th November, but talked to people where the arrival date already was and still no update. That's why I think they just process chronological with document upload.

i think they do care about the arrival date. Your application was in pending document check for a month and it just moved to the next step. This is hopefully a good sign.
