Tourist Visa Advice

Hello everyone,

Me and my husband(Macedonian citizens) are about to visit Thailand for leisure and tourisam(if visa is issued). We bought fixed tickets for 23rd of February, and applied for online tourist visa on 22nd of January. Since then, the status of the visa applications is 'pending document check'. We've tried to call the Royal Embassy of Thailand in Ankara, no luck, sent a couple of urgent emails since our travel date is approaching, nothing changes. Any experience or advise if is possible to approve us a visa by Friday 20th(4 working days)?

Any info is appreciated

TIA

I applied from Jakarta, had an interview. The status is Pending Approval since 19 Dec, 2025.

How long it takes to have final decision from this status?

Kbank account (2013) & Krungsri account (2018)

Originally opened up a Kbank account in 2013 while on an ED visa. Also opened up a Krungsri account in 2018 while on a METV. Now I'm on a DTV, but the banks don't know I'm on a DTV.

Has anyone had their Kbank or Krungsri accounts closed by the banks like the Bangkok Bank fiasco?

I have a new phone and want to install the Kbank & Krungsri banking apps, but this requires going into the banks to get them to do it. Kbank requires facial recognition to be done at the branch.

I'm a bit hesitant, in case they ask me to update my visa status and if I tell them I'm on a DTV, then they might close down my accounts. Is it risky to try and get them to install the Kbank and Krungsri app on my new phone?

Hi all, quick question I can’t find with search function. When there has been a change of status or more info requested, do you get a notification email or do you have to keep logging in and checking? Assume email notification but can never be too sure!

Thanks everyone for your help in the group. Other people’s experience helped me. Fingers crossed!

DTV Application – “Pending Approval” stage: how close am I to approval?

Hi everyone, I’m posting anonymously just to get some reassurance and to help anyone else going through the same process.

I applied for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) through the London Embassy. A few days after submitting, I was asked to provide extra documents including a clearer passport scan, proof of funds showing at least £11,000, my company registration confirming my name and position, and a letter confirming that I’ll be working remotely for my UK business and not doing any work in Thailand.

I’ve now submitted everything they asked for, including a signed client letter confirming my remote work setup and UK income, plus bank proof showing well over the required amount.

Today my online status has changed from “Pending Document Check” to “Processing – Pending Approval.”

Does anyone know if that means I’m basically through and just waiting for it to be issued, or is there still a chance it could be rejected at this stage?

Thanks in advance — this group has been a huge help throughout the DTV process.

Hi, question.

Our DTV application went from Pending documents check to pending approval. Applied, Oct 3rd, Oct 10th pending approval, and now 12 days later, after I called, they changed it back to Pending document check.

Whats going on. It feels like they just forgot about it, and now its going back into the entire system again? Does this mean we have to wait another 20 days, or nobody has a clue whats going on behind the scenes?

Update: We got approved a day later!

Hi, everyone.

Has anyone applied to the Ho Chi Minh Embassy on Monday, September 29th, and received approval?

My status changed to Pending Approval on Tuesday (September 30th) without any request, but it has remained that way until today.

If anyone applied and was approved on September 29th, please share your story. Thank you in advance.

My application non immigrant O. has been sat at pending approval for almost a week after having resubmitted evidence of funds at their request. My first submission screenshots of wage slips not sufficient. Worried that having transferred from one of my accts £10k on the day of resubmitting and providing bank statement was also not acceptable? Hope I am over worrying. No one answers the phone there in London Embassy, spent hours ,I have sent email too. Do I need to re apply? I would expect the ‘rejected’ to be highlighted in that event.

Anyone!

Hello everyone,

I applied for a Non-ED Internship Visa on September 12 and I have yet to hear anything back on a decision, is anyone else experiencing this or know of why the processing might be taking longer?

Any help is much appreciated!
