TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster applied for a Thai visa on the 7th and is still waiting for approval as of the 13th, with no updates. Comments suggest that visa processing can take an additional 5 working days, and some members share their experiences, indicating it may take longer due to weekends and recent public holidays, including Songkran. Users are encouraged to be patient during this period.
