Can anyone share their recent experiences with E-Visa applications through the Sydney embassy? I lodged my SETV application with the recommended 4 week buffer and I've passed the 3 week mark. 

The application has been "Pending Document Check" for that entire time. I'm hoping that's just the new normal since my previous applications have usually completed within two weeks.

Answer summary

A user is inquiring about recent experiences with E-Visa applications, specifically the SETV application, lodged through the Sydney embassy. They have been waiting for three weeks under the status of 'Pending Document Check' and are concerned if this is now a normal timeframe, as their previous experiences were usually completed in about two weeks.

Be patient as they are known to be slow processing your Visa application. Usually they will issue the Visa about a week before your stated flight date to Thailand. You can try to Chat with the Thai Embassy or Consulate where you submitted your application by using their MESSAGE US OR CONTACT US on their Facebook page. The Sydney Australia website...

There busy and you'll get it before you leave or even on the day you leave like i did and many others, they'll will check your application when you submit it and if you don't hear from them, then the application is correct, just got to sit back and wait
