What is the normal processing time for a DTV visa application in Thailand?

DTV visa visa processing times Thailand consulates visa application status

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello!

What is the usual ("normal") processing time for DTV? I have been waiting for almost 1 month now. First (almost) 2 weeks the system showed "Pending document check". And now I have seen "Pending approval" for 2 weeks. Is this usual or would it make sense to inquire the consulate about the status?

The user is inquiring about the typical processing time for a DTV visa, mentioning they've been waiting for nearly a month, with the status changing from 'Pending document check' to 'Pending approval'. They are considering whether it's normal to wait this long or if they should contact the consulate for an update.
