TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquires about the status of their DTV application submitted in Bali, expressing concern over potential delays due to recent Indonesian holidays. Community responses indicate that while there have been holidays, processing times are typically around 10 working days and suggest that the user's submission date should be considered based on working days. Users share their experiences with changing application statuses and express hope that responses will be forthcoming following the end of holidays.

they can still ask for more information. Basically it's passed an initial sift and been passed on to someone to look at who can actually make a decision

5th and 12th were holidays & day of submission doesn't count. I would say your day of submission was actually the 6th, so today is only the 4th working day. I wouldn't expect to hear until towards the end of next week

Supposedly, today is an Indonesian holiday & some say Thai embassy don’t work today as well. I applied on 24th & my status still shows “pending approval”. 😥

In your case, I guess it’s only been 4 working days. The standard processing time is 10 working days as per their announcement.
