ORIGINAL POSTERHi Everyone,
I applied for SoftPower in Jakarta on 8th of May at 4 pm. I didnt calculate that they have a holiday on Monday and Tuesday. In my application and invitation and my flight says I am flying to Thailand on 15th - which is Thursday after 4 pm.
Do you think there is a chance my visa is going to be accepted and issue by that time?
Thank you!

I submitted my DTV dependent visa application through Jakarta consulate on 24th April. They asked additional documents on 1st May. My application status changed to “Pending Approval” on 2nd May. I still have no update yet.

Same here, applied in Manila and still says pending documents check. Even though Manila is known for being fast!

Depended on the Thai Embassy in Jakarta. You will wait only for approve the visa. If not respond before or within Thursday, you will cancel the flight or move the flightp

btw, i read everywhere that in Jakarta it takes max 5 days. I mean they write it on the website of course and it might indeed take more if they request additional docs but for soft power it should be less and easierJohn **********
@Dziyana *********
that would be 5 working days so holidays and weekends don't count. And soft power can lead to more questionsDziyana **********
ORIGINAL POSTER@John *********
what kind of questions are there for softpower? Usually more questions asked for workstation type of visaJohn **********
@Dziyana *********
fairly often they ask for you to show how you would support yourself, which is a question you answer up front with workationDziyana **********
