What are the current processing times and tips for Australian applicants applying for the Thailand Workation visa?

Sydney, Australia DTV approved

For any Aussies still waiting, it took a total of 33 days (standard days, not business days) for my approval to come through. I applied on the 1st of Oct.

As many have highlighted, there is a clear backlog and it's taking longer than the usual 1~2 weeks.

I missed when the status changed to 'Checking Documents' but it took 28 days to get to the 'Pending Decision' and then sat for 4 days on this status before I received the approval email. This 4 day wait includes the weekend.

-No additional documents were requested.

-I applied with the workation route.

-Started with the minimum 500k baht but I added considerably more funds into my account across the 3 month period and frequently, to make it clear that I had amble funds available.

-To avoid any complications, I moved funds generated through work into my private account and thus prevented the need of having to show account details/transaction/balance from multiple accounts

-To reduce any misunderstanding by the assessors, I included a cover letter for both of the supporting documents section (work and finances) that clearly explained the contents for each document. For work: I explained what I do and how I can earn an income by being a remote worker. For finances: I explained how I remitted funds from both my work and private assets into the single private account for clarity. I also made a note that I would be happy to provide the additional bank account statements if needed.

Hope some of this information helps.
