Hello everyone,

Do you remember how long it took for you to receive your approval after seeing “Processing/Pending Approval” on the Thai E-Visa website for DTV? Also, I wonder if, after this step, approval is guaranteed, or can they still refuse or request additional documents?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Users shared their experiences regarding the processing time for their Thai E-Visa after the status changed to 'Processing/Pending Approval'. Responses varied, with some receiving approval within 24 hours, while others experienced delays of up to several weeks due to requests for additional documentation. Participants emphasized that the processing time can depend on the embassy and acknowledged that approval is not guaranteed even after the pending status is shown, as additional documentation may be requested.
