ORIGINAL POSTERApplied in Jakarta on the 17th September and haven't heard back (today 25th September). The status below still says:
"Processing Pending Document Check (1)", I haven't received an Email from their side e.g asking for more documents, but would that appear also on their webpage if that was the case?
Anyone also experiencing this applying through Jakarta?
Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
The original post discusses the lack of communication regarding a visa application submitted in Jakarta on September 17th, with status pegged as 'Processing Pending Document Check'. Various comments suggest that visa processing timelines can be unpredictable and typically require patience. Users share their own experiences indicating that processing can take several days, sometimes even requiring additional documents. There is advice to remain calm and focus on other activities while awaiting a response.

You can not use the status to predict anything about how long your application is in the process, it can change both ways.
The timer resets to 0 when additional documents are required.
Some embassies like jakarta post a average visa processing time, on their website, but that is neither a good indicator.
You simply have to wait, until you are approved/ rejected.

I applied on the 19th September and haven't heard anything back either. I would just chill, relax and travel around Indonesia. Stressing about it won't speed it up 😅

I had a similar experience. It took 7 working days for them to ask for additional documents after my application.
