How long does visa approval take at the Thai Embassy in Washington DC?
I submitted my application via the Washington DC Embassy on Sept 15th and have been at the Pending Approval stage since Oct 9th. Its been 31 days with no response after sending 3 status emails with no additional information being requested. Has anyone else had these experience?
Answer summary
A user reported submitting their visa application on September 15, but has been waiting at the Pending Approval stage since October 9, with no updates after 31 days. Others in the community shared similar experiences, highlighting delays likely due to public Thai holidays in October. The conversation also included a reference to the embassy's official visa information page.
