ORIGINAL POSTERHello everyone,
Here’s my situation: I applied for the DTV Visa on Wednesday, February 26. My status was Pending Document Check for two days until today, Friday, February 28. They requested a more recent photo with a plain white background, which I uploaded. As soon as I submitted it, my status changed instantly to Pending Approval.
Has anyone in this group applied at the Jakarta embassy? If so, how long did it take after reaching Pending Approval to receive the visa?
(As a side question, is it possible that even after reaching Pending Approval, they might request additional documents?)
I have a flight back to Bangkok on Thursday, March 6. Should I keep my flight, or is it too uncertain? Thanks!

Exact same thing happened to me with the photo and they took 2 working days to approve.

An interview or location check are possible until the very end. I would suggest to stay where you are until confirmation.

Yes - it can go back to more documents needed from this stage. It can sometimes even go to interview requested, but hopefully you’ll be fine.
