I know there are some dumb questions and anonymous posts (I am still waiting for my approval after 3 weeks in Sydney) but can we try and be a bit nicer? It seems to be getting really snarky here.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around the frustrations and anxieties of expats in Sydney regarding the Thai visa application process, particularly those waiting for approvals that can take weeks. Users express a desire for kindness in responses and mention the snarky tone prevalent in online interactions related to visa queries. They share personal experiences regarding waiting times, provide insights on obtaining approvals, and suggest self-reliance by utilizing official resources. Overall, there's a mix of support, exasperation about the application delays, and commentary on the community dynamics.
oh I’m not offended—I just don’t waste energy on snark. Discernment isn’t fragility, it’s strategy. 😉

Also been waiting 3 weeks on my Sydney application.... when are you planning to leave Sydney? I read something about them not approving until a few weeks before but I need to apply for my partner as a dependant if mine is approved so I really hope they hurry. 3 weeks till I plan to fly
You'll get it. Just a formality now, I reckon; waiting on a higher up to sign a batch of them.

Genuinely happy to help, it's like others said you always get some "know it all" or someone who goes "I have a friend who.....I know someone who...." Then it just blows up and I give up

I personally use google, or embassy websites and am fairly self sufficient. But I always think - if you can't be helpful, or you're annoyed, just move on - no need to respond to it!

Facebook is toxic, but also there are some really dumb questions that have been asked before, or just people being unreasonable in their expectations , like expecting people on facebook to have answers to appease them and make them feel good even if no one really knows the answer and even if it makes no difference.

The group needs admins who enforce the rules. But not enforcing rules in a Thailand group is appropriate, I guess.
