What does “Pending Document Check “ mean? Are they asking me for more information?
Answer summary
The term 'Pending Document Check' in the context of Thai visa applications indicates that the application is undergoing a review process where the embassy or consulate is verifying the submitted documents. Many users in the discussion provided insights emphasizing that this status does not necessarily mean the application will be declined; rather, it implies that the officials are reviewing the information and may contact the applicant for additional documents if needed. It is a common part of the visa processing procedure and applicants are advised to be patient during this time.

I just completed mine at the Vancouver consulate, once I got this message it took a couple of days. The response will probably depend on how quick your trip is coming up.
