ORIGINAL POSTER

Who has applied at the Thai Embassy in HCMC, Vietnam recently and is currently waiting for an update or results? 🤔

My girlfriend and me are waiting for an update and are wondering how many other people in this group are currently in the same situation here in HCMC.

We submitted our applications on May 13, the status has been on "Pending Approval" since Friday.

Just curious how many people in here are currently in the same boat. Maybe leave a comment with your submission date so that we can collect some data points. ✌️

Good luck everyone! 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post inquires about individuals who have recently applied for visas at the Thai Embassy in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam, and are awaiting updates. The original poster and their girlfriend submitted their applications on May 13 and noted that their status has been 'Pending Approval'. They encourage others in a similar situation to share their submission dates to help gather data on processing times and delays, especially as some commenters mention experiencing longer wait times possibly due to holiday backlogs.

I've seen several posts from people waiting a bit longer this month at HCMC. They may be a bit backed up from all the May holidays or have other pressing work to get through.

It was another Thai public holiday on Fri 09 & Mon 12 May, so no wonder some delays

not to bad but it is more case of annoying to be stuck in limbo, not knowing when or how it will end.

Also tired of arranging accommodation every two days
