Will my Thai eVisa be approved before my departure date on February 8?
Good day
I applied for my Thai evisa and a day later they wanted more documents which i submitted the final one being on the 14th of January and its still pending approval. 2015 and 2016 it was approved within 3 days, i am worried coz my departured is for the 8th of Feb. Is it still possible for them to approve before this departure date? I dont want to lose my money. Please help. Today the website gave me an error message 😢

Summary so far
The user is concerned about their pending Thai eVisa application, which has been submitted several days prior, impacting their travel plans for a departure on February 8. They reported submitting additional documents after an initial request from the Thai authorities but are anxious due to past experiences where approvals occurred within a few days. Other commenters noted similar experiences with visa delays, especially during peak travel seasons, and emphasized the importance of allowing adequate time for visa processing.

It doesn't seem to be unusual for visas to be issued last minute to passports of African countries.

No one can even begin to help answer your question if you don't include what visa you applied for and at what embassy.

i did evisa online, applying from South Africa, before we would apply at the Pretoria Embassy in personBrandon ************
@Anne *****
so what does the SA Thai embassy website say about visa processing times? Submitting new documents usually resets your timer, meaning it has only been 8 business days so far. And many Thai embassies are busy this week processing absentee ballots from Thais. It's usually recommended to submit visa applications at a minimum of 1 month early, but many Thai embassies have advised their current processing time is 5-6 weeks due to high season and increased numbers of applications.
