Is it appropriate to email the embassy for an update on my DTV visa after 9 working days of pending approval?
Good Afteenoon DTV Group,
Submitted my DTV on the 19.03.25, I was asked for additional documents on the 19.03.25, which i supplied in less than 1 hour , now pending approval , is it frowned upon to email embassy and ask for an update? It's been 9 working days to date.
Thanks for any advice , 1st time applying for DTV visa so unsure how long this process normally takes, don't want to come across pushy 🙏 🤞

You can email and ask, it can't hurt.

You haven't said which of the 80 Thai embassies you applied at, you haven't stated the entry scheme you chose, nor your anticipated arrival date as asked during the application process.

I make that 8 working days, the day you apply doesn't count. Where did you apply and what doesn't the consulate website say about processing time?

The embassy in Canberra says it can take up to 4-6 weeks to process

It’s not frowned upon as such… it really depends where applying from. But normally around 10 working days up to 15 in some circumstances. I wouldn’t email until 11 working days & even then, chances of a reply are slim lol

Anonymous participant you're lack of patience 😂 Not to mention you don't say what embassy you applied at for anyone to even say the normal processing time for that individual one. And they tell you on their site what the average time is as well .
And aww did it strike a nerve i laughed at yet another post like this from of course an anonymous poster 😂
