What does 'Processing – Pending Approval' mean for my Destination Thailand Visa application?

Question

DTV Application – “Pending Approval” stage: how close am I to approval?
Hi everyone, I’m posting anonymously just to get some reassurance and to help anyone else going through the same process.

I applied for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) through the London Embassy. A few days after submitting, I was asked to provide extra documents including a clearer passport scan, proof of funds showing at least £11,000, my company registration confirming my name and position, and a letter confirming that I’ll be working remotely for my UK business and not doing any work in Thailand.

I’ve now submitted everything they asked for, including a signed client letter confirming my remote work setup and UK income, plus bank proof showing well over the required amount.

Today my online status has changed from “Pending Document Check” to “Processing – Pending Approval.”

Does anyone know if that means I’m basically through and just waiting for it to be issued, or is there still a chance it could be rejected at this stage?

Thanks in advance — this group has been a huge help throughout the DTV process.

Submitted on Nov,3 has the same status right and just find out I submitted a month bank statement instead of 3. I think I'm screwed.

I have applied to the London Embassy too. Mine says processing. They won’t issue me the visa whilst I am in Thailand which I currently am. I gave them flight details I return to the UK on 4th of December and back to Thailand 28th of December so hopefully my visa will be approved in the middle of December fingers crossed. I have 4 million baht personal savings so my financials are strong and 200K baht monthly income

That means nothing much unfortunately... I've seen people getting back to the upload extra document stage after that status.

Just means it has moved from the first stage to the next stage.  Can always go back to a request for additional documents etc.  most of the time, it is just waiting in the queue to be reviewed.

As I understand it the pending approval means the officer dealing with the application is happy and has passed it up the chain for the senior officer to finalize approval.

Its rare the senior officer finds anything that would make him deny the application but it has happened.
