Hello! I applied for soft power with cooking classes at the Jakarta Embassy in Indonesia. I applied on January 15th, a Thursday. It still says pending document check. My plane to head back to Thailand is scheduled for January 28th, a Wednesday. So my plane leaves in 2 days. I was wondering how long it’s taking for people that have applied at the Jakarta embassy. I was wondering if it’s likely to find out if I’m approved by Wednesday if not I’ll need to reschedule my plane and was also wondering how long I should reschedule my flight for? Thank you for the help:)
Update: I ended up canceling my flight until February 4th a Wednesday, so it will give me 15 business days all together.
Update: I ended up having to extend my stay in Indonesia since I’ve been here longer than 30 days. They requested for me to come to Jakarta for an interview so on Sunday I flew to Jakarta from Bali and had an interview on Monday the 16th of February. On Tuesday the 17th (this morning) I got approved for a multiple entry tourist TR (6 month visa) instead of the 5 year DTV. I assume it’s because my cooking class for soft power was a 6 month course so they don’t think I need to be in Thailand longer than 6 months.
