ORIGINAL POSTER

Tomorrow will be the 10th business day since I first raised and paid for my DTV my application (Royal Thai Embassy Manila).

The timeline is

14 Oct - applied/paid

16 Oct - request for further docs (2) / submitted same day

20 Oct - request for further doc (1) / submitted same day

I have seen from posts here before to follow up only after the 10th business day has elapsed. Does anyone what channels /contact info to use to follow up from the Manila embassy? Of course, I'm hoping i wont have to do all this and that the approval is out hopefully by tomorrow.

----

Received approval  31st Oct, a 13-day turn-around time since the application was lodged. 

Thank you!

The Manila website says normal processing time is 10-15 business days if documents are complete. If request for additional documents are asked, it will add time, possibly resetting the clock

The counting of days resets when they ask for documents, so you would be on day 5
