ORIGINAL POSTERFlying 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?.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user expressed concern about their Certificate of Entry (CoE) pending approval from the Thai Embassy in Dhaka, just two days before their flight. The discussion highlighted experiences from fellow expats, suggesting various approaches such as persistent calls to the embassy, checking email confirmations for contact details, and trying social media for assistance. Some users shared that CoE approvals often happen close to travel dates, indicating that patience might be necessary. Ultimately, the user received their CoE after following up with an email.

Mine did this too. Just wait. It won't give you an update on there. Of it bothers you, you can call the immigration office.

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...

If you have received an email confirmation of the receipt of your documents for CoE, then their contact address should be there at the end of their email. I just pasted here what I got in my email Royal Thai Embassy, Dhaka สำหรับผู้มีสัญชาติไทย +๘๘๐๑๗๐๙๖๔๐๘๐๘ หรือ

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.
