Hello everyone. Just checking to see if anyone has experience dealing with the Thai Embassy in Ottawa, specifically for tourist visas. We applied/paid on October 20, and were asked for and submitted some additional documents on October 23 but it's been radio silence since and our dashboard hasn't been updated to reflect that the documents were received. Emails have gone unanswered and whoever is manning the phone/FB Messenger basically said "When they get to it, they'll be in touch" and "It takes 20 business days for visas to be processed".
Basically, I just wanted to see if anyone had experience with it taking LONGER than 20 business days and if this lack of status updates is typical.
Thanks for any insight!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared their experience with the Thai Embassy in Ottawa regarding the tourist visa application process, noting delays beyond the typical 20 business days. They described submitting additional documents and facing a lack of communication from the embassy. Responses from the community indicate variability in processing times, with some applicants experiencing longer waits due to document re-submissions.
