TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about their visitor visa application submitted on February 24, noting that it's still in processing. They reached out to the consulate but received no response. Community comments revealed various insights, including that 10 days is relatively short for visa processing—many embassies advise waiting at least 15 working days. Suggestions ranged from contacting the Thai Visa Center for assistance to exploring communication via official channels like Facebook Messenger, as responses may be quicker through social media. The discussion also touched upon specific details regarding visa status and additional fees.

I also applied for a visa on 25th February and am still waiting for approval; the portal shows “Pending documents review”.
I have tried calling them and sent multiple emails.
I have a confirmed ticket for 19th March.
Please help me out.
I applied from Saudi Arabia.

Did you pay the Thb3500 express processing fee?

ORIGINAL POSTER@Ian *******
no, I just pay the evisa application fee 160SAR which is around 1347thb. This was mentioned in the evisa applicationIan ********
Sami Waziri the under the table payment

@Ian *******
how would you pay anything under the table when applying online through the e-visa system, and the embassy itself does not allow you to enter? A slice of bread would give us better advice than you just didIan ********
Greg Alexander ok. Then I will send you a slice, brown or white? It was a joke

That's only 10 working days ago.
I don't know a single embassy that advises less than 15 working days, and many say longer than that for visa processing.
Many embassies are also still on extended processing due to the end of high season and the aftermath of the Thai election.

Michael Fallow Don't talk stupid. This is an embassy visa

ORIGINAL POSTERStephen Howell thank you for your suggestions. Can you please guide me what I should do? Should I wait more? Or are there any other possibilities?
Greg ***********
Sami Waziri he will not reply because he has no idea how his suggestion would work out in reality
Stephen ********
Greg Alexander It's not me suggesting he contact an agent! That's a pointless exercise. Sam Waziri, what is your nationality and proposed date of arrival in Thailand? With more information you might get better responses
Sami ********
ORIGINAL POSTERStephen Howell my nationality is Pakistan and living in Saudi Arabia. My arrival date is 20th March in Bangkok. My accommodations are booked and flights are also booked. I provided all the required documents that were listed on the thaivisa postal

Michael Fallow How can they help with an Embassy/Consulate?
Stephen ********
Graham Seal He really has no idea
Michael ********
Talk to them and find out

Michael Fallow a Thailand based agent has no better means to contact a Thai consulate abroad than the applicant himself. So WHAT makes you think a Thailand based agent will be of great help with an application to an E-Visa in Saudi Arabia?

ORIGINAL POSTERGreg Alexander I am in Saudi Arabia and I applied through Riyadh consulate
