Hi, I applied through the Thai embassy in Canberra on the 17th of July, Received an email asking for my VEVO document on the 27th and attached it on the same day.

Any idea how long it could take to be approved? I know it can take up to 4 weeks but just wanted to know if anyone has applied recently through the embassy in Canberra and can share their experience.

Thanks!

Timelines can vary by embassy and individual application, but a request for a VEVO document is usually a sign that your application is actively being reviewed rather than sitting in the queue. Since you submitted the VEVO on 27 July, I'd give it a little more time, as 2–4 weeks is still within the normal range for many applicants. Hopefully someone who has recently applied through Canberra can share their experience as well.
