Is it normal not to receive an email after submitting a visa application for Thailand in Canberra?

The original poster inquired about not receiving a confirmation email after submitting their visa application in Canberra, Australia, despite having completed the application process five days earlier. Community comments suggest that it is normal to not receive an email immediately, especially if the application is still in progress. Members advised patience, indicating that updates usually come only when additional documents are required or when a decision has been made on the application.
