Hi everyone ! Currently in Australia (but french nationality), I asked for an evisa early october but it still in process...Well, Camberra is the ambassy able to receive and treat this asking and I'm scared that they are wainting too late cause I go to Thailande in December... But I also leave Australia in several weeks... Please how to do to be sure to get my evisa before my leaving cause my asking should be refused if I'm not in Australia anymore before the end of the process...thank you for your help.... UPDATE : we finally got it today !

Answer summary

The poster, a French national currently in Australia, expressed concerns about the processing of their eVisa application ahead of a planned trip to Thailand in December. They feared potential delays might result in the application being rejected if they left Australia before approval. Several commenters empathized, sharing their own visa application struggles and offering congratulations when the original poster finally received their eVisa. Suggestions included checking email folders for updates and being mindful of the slow processing times at the Thai consulates in Australia.

Marion Dbs and nobody seems to know anything. Everybody says something else in this group and the embassy don’t want to answer a email about visa.

I have been waiting since 24 September for non o

Pending a decision. Had to cancel my flight yesterday. Tried emailing and also went to the consulate.

They are busy and no longer have visa officers at the consulate .

Probably alot of extra work with the 60 days going to 30 for tourists 🤷‍♂️.

There's not really any way to hurry the process, and sadly, both the thai consulates in Oz, (Canberra and Sydney) are slow to process eVisas and you just have to wait it out..

Check your spam/junk folder in case they sent you an email for additional documentation.

What is the status of the application now on your dashboard in the eVisa system?
