ORIGINAL POSTER

My DTV is on "Pending Approval" who needs to do the approval ? Is it the Embassy itself or the MFA in Bangkok ? - if I am not wrong the first step is the Pending Document Check is done by the Embassy, but the next step is the Embassy or the MFA. 

I wonder how many got rejected even having the "Pending Approval" just kinda stressed as we all pay the 350€ and no refund if pay online.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about who is responsible for approving their DTV application that is currently in 'Pending Approval' status, questioning whether it is the Embassy or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in Bangkok. They express concern about the lack of refund for the application fee and seek reassurance regarding the possibility of rejection despite the status.

I moved from document check to pending approval a few hours after I submitted the application , and the visa was issued about 24 hours after that. London digital nomad option via my UK Ltd company.
