Tourist Visa Advice

Hello everyone,

Me and my husband(Macedonian citizens) are about to visit Thailand for leisure and tourisam(if visa is issued). We bought fixed tickets for 23rd of February, and applied for online tourist visa on 22nd of January. Since then, the status of the visa applications is 'pending document check'. We've tried to call the Royal Embassy of Thailand in Ankara, no luck, sent a couple of urgent emails since our travel date is approaching, nothing changes. Any experience or advise if is possible to approve us a visa by Friday 20th(4 working days)?

Any info is appreciated

TIA

Summary so far

A Macedonian couple is seeking advice regarding their pending tourist visa application for Thailand, which is crucial as their travel date approaches. They applied on January 22 for a trip starting February 23 and are concerned about the approval status, given the embassy's slow response times.

I've never read any good reports from that embassy. They always take a very long time to process anything.
