I applied for a Thailand 🇹🇭 tourist visa from uk 🇬🇧 on September 27 and additional documents were requested on October 2nd and another additional document on October 5th. I was told to resubmit my acro police report, and on October 6th, it said “ pending approval.” I haven’t heard anything since then, and I have sent emails; my flight is on November 1st. Has anyone experienced this before? I am worried.
Answer summary
A user is concerned about their Thailand tourist visa application, which is pending approval after multiple requests for additional documents, including an ACRO police report. They need the visa to board a flight on November 1st and have heard mixed feedback regarding document requirements for the short stay tourist visa (SETV). Others in the discussion suggest double-checking visa type requirements and imply that delays can happen after submitting additional documents.

Sounds like you clicked the wrong button. No police report needed. Double check what you applied for

Are you sure you are applying for the SETV single entry tourist visa ? There's NO requirements for a Police Clearance Report with the SETV. However... there's a requirement for it if you are applying for the OA Visa as Retired or the DTV visa...???

Graham Seal it’s a tourist visa and I don’t have a British passport. It’s mandatory to upload police report

Not really much you can do but wait it out.. Often times the request for additional documents resets the processing time and on the London consulate website it says
