What should I do if my Certificate of Entry (CoE) is still pending approval before my flight to Thailand?
Flying on this coming Tuesday and CoE awaiting approval from the Thai Embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Just two official days left to get the approval and bit worried now. Applied on 24 March, did this happen to anyone?.

You might also try contacting them through other social media apps - FB messenger, Twitter, IG, etc if you haven't already done so. Worth a shot...

Yes, it's been like that for me for the last 3 days. They are not answering nor record phone calls. And no answer to email. 2 weeks to my flight and I'm on pins and needles. I share your feelings.

I would call and speak with someone. They pulled up my application over the phone and accepted it. I would say to just keep calling until you get a hold of someone who is helpful. Usually they are.
