Hi everyone, how long is the DTV processing time in Berlin usually?

I had originally submitted my application on 17th November. On 1st December, I got a request for proof of freelancing registration, together with my tax assessment of 2024, which I submitted the next day. I haven't heard of any news since then.

Is this normal? Thank you!
Answer summary
The typical processing time for a DTV visa in Berlin is approximately 15 business days from the date the embassy receives all required documents. Many applicants have experienced delays and the need to resend documents multiple times. In this case, the applicant submitted additional documentation on December 2, and the processing countdown is expected to restart from that date, considering there are also Thai national holidays during this period. Delays in communication and approval are common, but applicants are encouraged not to give up.

I had to re-send docs 2 or 3 times, and each time I waited 10 or 15 days. Very frustrating. They kept rejecting my proof that I had permission from my employer to work in Thailand, bc I was sending them screenshots of our remote work policy and my approval in our HR portal, and they wanted it in my contract! When they told me it was my "last chance" to prove i have permission from my employer, I wrote a super indignant email about how this requirement is not in alignment with how modern software companies work, there is no company that writes it in your contract it's always via a portal like this, and about 2 hours later I got my visa approval later. 😆 I hope your process is easier but if its not don't give up!

The approval time is reset once they receive your docs, you sent the docs Dec 2nd, Dec 3 the approval process starts again. Berlin takes 15 business days to approve the application. Dec 5, 10 national Thai holidays.
