What does 'processing pending approval' status mean for my visa application?

Holiday coming so it may take a little while longer.

as far as i understand the Thai immigration procedure, it means the following:

- They reviewed your document and decided that you supplied the requested documents

- They forwarded it now to someone higher that is eligible to approve/decline your request

- This person still can decline, ask for more documents, ask you to come to an interview or just approve it. It is his call, depending on your documents, and on him.

From your side, wait for a response. It might take a few days (mine took a week from this moment). And stay in the country as

said, they might call you to an interview.

Stay in the country where you submitted your DTV Visa Application until the decision is known. Please let us know what happens. Good Luck 🍀

Could be both. You'll need to wait until final confirmation.
