Is it normal to experience a delay in visa processing after submitting documents to the Thai consulate?
Applying for TR via the e-visa website (thaievisa.go.th). Filled out application online and sent passports and paperwork to Chicago consulate one week ago today by registered USPS (as requested by the site). According to the USPS, our passports were delivered two days later, but the website status still says, "Post your passport and e-appointment" -- no confirmation that it is being processed. Is this delay normal? Should we follow up by phone or email?
Answer summary
A user expressed concern about the processing delay for their TR visa application submitted via the Thai e-visa website. They reported that after sending their documents to the Chicago consulate a week ago, the status on the website has not changed from 'Post your passport and e-appointment.' Other users shared similar experiences, indicating that delays in updating the website are common and that they received their passports back without prior status updates. It is suggested that following up could be helpful, but it appears that the processing time may vary.
