ORIGINAL POSTERApplied 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.
