ORIGINAL POSTER

My application non immigrant O. has been sat at pending approval for almost a week after having resubmitted evidence of funds at their request. My first submission screenshots of wage slips not sufficient. Worried that having transferred from one of my accts £10k on the day of resubmitting and providing bank statement was also not acceptable? Hope I am over worrying. No one answers the phone there in London Embassy, spent hours ,I have sent email too. Do I need to re apply? I would expect the ‘rejected’ to be highlighted in that event.

Anyone!

I've contacted the Thai Embassy London a few times using -

- and they've answered in 24 hours. When I queried, that my evisa hadn't been issued, they replied that as there was 2 months till my travel date, they'd been prioritising other applications with earlier travel dates

When I was asked for further information from the Thai Embassy London, it took a total of 15 working days from the initial submission to the issue of the evisa.

When they asked for the ID card of my sons mother it took over a week for them to check the new documents I submitted as well.

The initial review was fast but the follow up was so long I had to land as a tourist.

When I went through immigration at BKK the lady asked for my e visa - despite it not being approved yet.

nope, nothing you can really do, just wait it out. It's still going thru the process. They'll either approve or reject it and email you

just keep looking for the email or checking the status in the system

You might try messaging them on their official F/B page via messenger sometimes they answer faster that way
