TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the ongoing document check for a visa application in Jakarta, which has been pending for 7 working days. Several comments express the usual timeframes for visa processing, discussing potential delays due to Thai holidays and sharing personal experiences, suggesting it could take up to a month. Others inquire about specifics like the date of application and nationality.

So on the 5th it was a holiday

On the 10th it’s a holiday

Nothing really gets done from 4-15 Dec

You should have known this

DTV_Begpacker nothing gets done between 4-15 December even there are just 2 public holidays? You mean all of them taking all the other days off???

Well let’s break it down from a worker perspective…and I’m guessing you have worked in your life in a 9-5

The 4th was a Thursday holiday was the 5th a Friday

Then the weekend

The 10th is a Wednesday

So either you burn sick time/PTO on the 4th come back on the 8th

Work the 9th have holiday on the 10th

burn PTO/Sick time on 11 and 12 and into the weekend

2 4 day weekends and basically 1 day of work in that time period

And I’m guessing it’s half days on 4th and the 9th with a team building day on 11-12

Or you just take all PTO from 4-12 either way

If you’ve ever worked a day in your life for a company you will totally understand this schedule…if not I have no idea

@Robert ******
can you imagine people have different reasons to ask? It’s not only about working during waiting. Show a bit more empathy please 🙏

@Maureen *********
Im full iwth empathy, can you imagine that?

It takes time to sort out applications, review them and make a good decision, can you show me a bit more empathy for the work at the Embassy/Consulate and later Immigration?

@Robert ******
I definitely pay respect and understanding but if he/she/they asking - the background of everyone is different. But thank you for your kind advice 😉
Robert *******
@Maureen *********
So you tell me that I need more empathy by assuming something different than me and you even call that pay respect and understand.

Well in my definition it is something else.

@Jack *********
do you remember which email you used to write them? I found a few and I don’t want to send an email to all of them to avoid spamming.

I run out of medication because I didn’t expect it takes so long and I took medicines only for 10 days with me.

Can take up to a month. What day and time did you apply? Your nationality?
