It's a crap shoot, I've gotten 3 of those same 90 day visas from the consulate in LA and the approval times were 6 days, 14 days and 2 days (working days). No explanation given. But it shouldn't take longer than 14 working days. I think that's they're time limit unless they notify you or ask for additional info.

Try messaging them on Facebook. Most Thai embassies/consulates respond fairly well there.

thank you very much. I did do that, but I was getting the same response. In text, that is saying the same thing. If I look it up online on my account still in processing waiting for approval. I did find out that they are just too many visa applications. And only one person who can validate the visa

i did actually get to talk to somebody at the New York embassy. They said only one person has the authority to validate a visa. They said they are getting about 50. Electronic visa applications per day.Right now The wait time is about six weeks.

Thank Ken. This is good to know! I'm in the process of cleaning out the house then listing it. Timing is everything! 😊

Could have entered 60 days exempt and extended 30 days. Unless you really need the "visiting family" option.
