I applied for an online visa on October 27, and my flight is scheduled for December 2nd. I have attempted to reach out to them via email and phone calls, but I have not received a response. What should I do in this situation?
Answer summary
The user applied for a Thai visa online but has not received a response despite reaching out via email and phone. Their flight is scheduled for December 2, but visa processing times for the Thai Embassy in Paris can take 30-45 days. Other comments emphasize that Moroccan passport holders must have a Thai visa before entering Thailand, and it's suggested to allow sufficient time for the application process as indicated by the embassy.

I applied in France. It took 39 days for reply last week. I had already left on my booked flight using 30 day visa exempt. Visa denied as my departure date had past, with a message that the process takes 30-45 days

The Thai Embassy in Paris clearly states that The time from submission of your file to visa authorization (or refusal) is a minimum of 5 weeks. I would wait for at least that period before contacting them because they also state "It is your responsibility to allow sufficient time for the visa application".

May I ask... WHY difficulty you submit your application to the Thai Embassy in Paris rather than the one in Morocco ?

Do you have a resident status in Paris?

Sorry, but as a passport from Morocco, you Must have a Thai Visa before you can fly to and enter Thailand.

You are not 🚫 eligible for Visa Exempt Entry or even VOA Visa on Arrival

And as you have your application submitted to the Thai Embassy in Paris, you will have to wait until they decide what they will do.

I researched the subject of Thai Visa for Morocco passport holders and did not find anything other than you MUST have a Thai Visa for your visit to Thailand.

That's a choice.

BUT why did you apply in Paris, not Morocco ?

that's what I assume. But I thought that Morocco may be a better choice for an application vs Paris.
