How long does ‘pending awaiting approval’ status last?

I submitted on Saturday, had to provide additional documentation:

1. Letter from employer.

2. Boarding pass and stamp showing I left Thailand. 

I’m applying from the UK.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The duration of a 'pending awaiting approval' status for a Thai visa application can vary, with some users sharing experiences of waiting a week after submitting their applications. Additional documentation may be required, and applicants are advised to stay informed about their status and any requests from immigration officials.

I know 😂🤦‍♂️ I paid an extra £100 for a flexi ticket, but I guess worst case if you get rejected you can still visit on a visa exemption for 60 days
