ORIGINAL POSTER
Applied at the Thai E Visa site for a DTV visa a month ago (New York Office), still waiting. Status says "Processing Pending Approval". Not really concerned since my planned departure is late Jan. I do recall last few times I applied (other visa types), I did not get the visa until a day or 2 prior to my departure. Anyone have any insights to share?

When busy they prioritise by departure date

It's high season right now. Even the embassies that are normally very fast like London are experiencing delays.
