TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the experience of a user whose Thai visa application status changed from 'pending approval' to 'pending document check.' Others have shared similar experiences, mentioning that their visa was granted shortly after experiencing the same status change. There is curiosity regarding which consulate or embassy was involved, with suggestions that the status change might indicate a review process before final approval.

They’ll just request more documents, they see potential but need more documents. Atleast you’re not getting rejected / cancelled. Just provide the more documents they ask for!
