I applied for a thai tourist visa 3 weeks ago and I haven't gotten a response from the Thai embassy. My intended travel date is 28th of July 2025. I was contacted by the embassy through my agent that the photograph of my passport book needs to resent as the one I sent wasn't clear. I had to resend it alongside a copy of my passport which they accepted. That happened 5 days after submission.
They said it would take them 10 extra days to process it but I've been waiting for 3 weeks now and nothing yet. Could anything be wrong? Why could they be taking so long when in reality they only said it takes 5-10 working days. I'm so so nervous 😓 😟.
I did everything they asked for as a requirement, and I've been waiting but no answer yet.
I applied through an agent, and I'm Nigerian. I don't know why they haven't given me a response yet.
I submitted my DTV under Workcation on 30th April and still “Pending Approval”. As of now, the status still shows “Pending Approval.” Meanwhile, my friends, who applied on the same date, already received their Visa approvals on May 10th. I am beginning to wonder if there might be an issue or delay specific to my application that I may have overlooked. I would greatly appreciate any insights from others who may have experienced a similar situation, or any advice on what steps I could take next.
Submitted on 9 April. Asked for extra documents last week. Until today 24 April still asking for additional documents like every page of my passport and extra passport photo.
My entry stamp is only valid till 7 May. What happens if it is not approved by 7 May? Anyone got into this situation before?
I applied online a month ago and still no response. I assume this is because of the high season and processing takes longer. Has anyone experienced similar waiting times?
Hi Everyone. I've lived/worked in Thailand for 17 years, so would be happy to offer insights on various matters.
I've got an evisa question if anyone confidently knows the rules. I applied for an O-A evisa with multiple entry about 5 weeks ago but they continue to drag their feet on processing it. In the meantime, I have a flight booked for Thursday that would be costly to rebook. I also have some need to be in country by the weekend. I am wondering whether I should keep my flight and enter on a 30 day visa exemption and try to get the O-A visa put into my passport at Chaeng Wattana once the email with the approved evisa shows up. Any thoughts on how likely I could accomplish this? Of course the alternative would be to fly out and back in once the evisa is available, but frankly I would like to avoid that... Any thoughts?
