Hi everyone, I’d truly appreciate the group’s help.

I submitted DTV applications for my wife and kids (as dependents) at the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City 21 days ago (I already hold a DTV visa as a remote worker).

After 5 days, their applications changed to “Pending Approval”, and they’ve been stuck there for more than 2 weeks.

I’ve tried calling the consulate (no answer) and sent emails (no reply).

Does anyone know how to expedite this process? Or can anyone recommend an agent who has a direct line to the consulate?

Thanks so much in advance!

Summary so far

A user is seeking assistance after their family's DTV visa applications, submitted 21 days ago at the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, have been stuck in 'Pending Approval' status for over 2 weeks. Attempts to contact the consulate by phone and email have been unsuccessful, leading them to ask the community for advice on expediting the process or finding an agent with connections to the consulate.
