Hello, general question from the USA. I submitted for a retirement OA Visa through the Thai E Visa site. I submitted the paperwork on the 25th of January and I just realized I left out the second page of my Health insurance certificate which has the stamp on it when I submitted the paperwork. What is my next step? Do I submit a whole new request with that information added? Do I wait for them to get back to me and tell me what documents I forgot and then submit those documents? I Fly out of Houston Texas on March 4th, do you think that is enough time to resubmit documents and get approved? The website still says processing application. I tried calling Thai Embassy in Washington DC but no answer. Any help would be appreciated.
Answer summary
A user in the USA submitted their application for a Thai OA visa and realized they forgot to attach the second page of their health insurance certificate. They are unsure whether to resubmit their application or wait for the embassy to request additional documents. Community members advised against submitting another application to avoid additional fees and emphasized that the embassy will likely reach out via email if there are any issues. They recommended monitoring email regularly, including the spam folder, and suggested contacting the embassy through Facebook Messenger for follow-up. Users shared their personal experiences, confirming that the embassy is generally responsive and that there is still sufficient time before the user's flight.

Did the visa site tell you which Embassy/Consulate to send it to?

I am in Florida so it goes to Washington DC. The status says pending document check. Was sent in on the 25th of January so it has only been six business days since I sent it in. I haven't heard anything yet. How long did it take for you to get the response telling you that you needed to provide a document?

It happened to me earlier in January. If you look at your application on line it will tell you what is happening. On mine it said awaiting extra document, they had told what they wanted and I sent it less than 10 hrs later I had my visa.

You should not submit again, as that would require you to pay again.

You also cannot submit additional documents through evisa once your application has been submitted, even if the embassy requests additional documents. If they have any issues they will e-mail you and will request you to e-mail them back with what they are asking for. Keep an eye on your e-mail as well as your spam filter folder.

You should have plenty of time if you're not flying until March. Washington DC isn't known to be a very slow embassy.

If you absolutely must contact them, try using Facebook messenger. I know it sounds weird but many of the embassies reply through Facebook better than other methods. You must be very strategic about how you do this though, as you must remember they are very busy and also not native English speakers.

Just send a single Facebook message and include everything in that one message.

"Hello, my name is xxxx, passport number xxxx, OA Visa application number xxxxx submitted on xx/xx/xx

I did not attach the 2nd page of my required insurance when I submitted my visa application. I want to know if this will cause any issues with my application.

Thank you"

I don't think you need to contact them at all yet. But if you think you do, then you can try Facebook messenger. It has worked for me in the past
