Did you status changed to 'waiting for approval' or just straight from 'pending document check' to approved?

ALL Thai Visas are applied for using the Evisa online application system

I remember the sense of relief and happiness when I got that email back in October last year. I was sat alone at night in an AirBnB in Hanoi waiting for it. Such a great feeling. Congratulations 🎉

Soft. Those that complain are the ones that submit incorrect info or lack of info and that makes officer's job harder.
