Hello,

I am an Albanian citizen holding a French residence permit under the “private and family life” category. I applied for a 15-day tourist visa to Thailand through the Thai Embassy in Paris two weeks ago, but my application is still being processed.

I am concerned that additional documents may be requested. I submitted my July and August payslips (with a net monthly income of over €3,000), my tax assessment and my residence permit. However, my flight booking receipt does not include a PNR, and the hotel reservations are in my wife’s name. I also provided our family record book as proof of our relationship.

My main concern is that we will be departing from Germany, as we live near the border, even though I legally reside in France.

Could these points cause any issues with my application? Does anyone know the current processing times for Thai tourist visas in Paris?

Thank you for your feedback.
Answer summary
An Albanian citizen with a French residence permit is concerned about their pending Thai tourist visa application. They worry that their flight booking without a PNR and hotel reservations under their wife's name might cause issues. They've submitted proof of income and family ties. They also seek information on current processing times for Thai tourist visas in Paris, noting that RTE Paris is known for slower approvals.
