Is there anyone still stuck in “Pending Approval “ stage in HCMC Royal Thai Consulate General? I applied on 12th March and got request documents on 13th March and now still stuck in “ Pending Approval “. Do I need to worry for approval? Can I get any update information for HCMC situation lately? Appreciate for all the discussions. 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user is seeking advice about their visa application status, which has been in 'Pending Approval' since March 12th, 2025, after receiving a document request on March 13th. They want to know if they should be concerned about the delay and are looking for updates regarding the current situation at the consulate. Several commenters share their experiences of similar delays and offer reassurance.

Andrey Yagodnitsyn I was staring at the page when I received the email with the evisa in it. Normally 10 days or so after submitting 2nd docs as long as no interview requested.
