What should I do if I haven't received a response to my Non-O visa application before my flight?

That’s why I say for first time use a Visa Agent

Got mine straight away

Is there anything * Pending * in your application on the Thai embassy website

I got mine in 16 days UK

Mine took over 4 weeks recently in the UK 

I applied to London 15th Oct, status changed to pending approval 20th but didn’t receive until 12th November. The process is taking much longer than in previous years and there have been several posts saying the same thing. As long as your status is “pending approval” you should be ok and get it in the next couple of days

I hope this can help someone out there .....in Malaysia, I applied for Non -O( spouse visa) on the 4th Oct. On the 16th Oct received an email saying my name applied in the Non-O application is different from my passport and I had to reapply again. So I did re-appled immediately on the same day with the name corrected.

On the 17th Oct, they send me a message saying that I had to resubmit 4 documents ie

1. Photos without shadow( I guess they meant that the photo were taken with one side of my face a shade darker)

2. Asking me to upload a proper Bank statement. ( I send a bank statement from the bank officer/ manager who had her signature on it...so it's quite confusing what they wanted).So I decided to upload directly from my bank online.

3. Asked to Submit my Thai spouse house registration....which I did not submit in the original submission)

4. Submit photo copies of every page of my passport including empty pages. In my original submission, I only uploaded the front page showing my personal details. That's a kicker!

I did what they asked and resubmitted for the 2nd time on the 18th Oct.

Finally on the 27th Oct evening my application was approved. I booked a flight to Thailand on the 28th Oct. Obviously I had to burn my original flight on the 22nd Oct. Not all Thai embassy/ Consulate requirements are the same.

In NZ after giving them extra information it was through the next day so I’m guessing not NZ.

It’s a very stressful process and I hope it come through soon. If you can contact them maybe it’s a good idea but be cool headed when taking to them . Best of luck.
