Has anyone experienced a really long wait for a DTV visa? 

I submitted March 3rd. It went to processing pending approval on March 4th. It’s still at that point but I haven’t been asked for anymore documents or any other checks. I’ve emailed the visa centre twice to just be given an automatic response that it can take at least 15 working days but it is way over that. So now Im not sure what to do. It’s Guangzhou Thai embassy I applied from.

Answer summary

The user is experiencing a long wait for their DTV visa application submitted to the Guangzhou Thai embassy on March 3rd, with no updates or additional document requests since it moved to processing pending approval the next day. Commenters noted that lengthy processing times, often exceeding a month, are common at Thai embassies in China, suggesting the user may just need to wait or consider visiting the embassy for updates.
