ORIGINAL POSTER
Applied for DTV on the 7th of October in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Haven’t heard back since. Status on the Thai visa website is (and has been for a few days) “pending approval”. No email asking for additional documents received.

Anyone in a similar situation? Seems like it’s taking longer than usual.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A person applied for a Thai DTV visa on October 7 in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, and has been waiting for approval without any communication from the visa office. Others are sharing similar experiences, noting that processing times can take up to 15 business days and expressing frustration over the lack of responses to emails regarding their applications.

Vietnam seems to be busy, several others in similar situation as yourself. Your application has been under process for 9 business days; it can take up to 15 business days.

What is your nationality? Do you have residency in Vietnam?
