I applied on 11 September at the Jakarta Embassy for the Muay Thai Soft Power route. Around 17 September, I received a request for all passport pages. Around 24 or 25 September, I received a request for proof of experience and interest in Muay Thai.

Today, on 29 September, the status changed to “Pending Approval” at 10 a.m., but at 6 p.m.(embassy works till 5pm for info) it suddenly changed back to “Processing – Pending Document Check (1),” even though I didn’t upload any new documents. How and why did this happen?

Hey everyone,

I applied for the DTV visa in Kuala Lumpur on September 3rd. It’s been 3 weeks now and I haven’t received any updates yet. Two days after I applied, they requested some additional documents, which I uploaded the same day.

Should I be worried, or is this kind of waiting time normal?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

What’s everyone’s experience been like with the Canberra embassy? Applied a bit over a month ago, got asked for further documents and now it’s been pending for 3-4 weeks

HCMC Vietnam how long You waiting? I sent on 6th of may and still waiting:(

Hi folks!

I was in pending approval for two days but now when I logged in it says pending document check, but I haven’t gotten a request for further documents.

Has anyone experienced this before? My flight was supposed to be tomorrow so I think I may need to change it

Tried to search to see if others have experienced the same but had a hard time finding posts

Thanks so much for your insights in advanced!

I submitted my application on Monday in Vientianne and had 2 requests for further documents (passport picture and financial evidecne. I uploaded those and yesterday the status went to pending approval. But today I got 2 emails again asking for the same documents. But if I login to the E-visa website it doesn't show I have to upload the documents like last time. It's still showing pending approval with no way to upload any extra documents. Has anyone experienced the same?

Has anyone ever had an issue with DTV requesting more documents? They asked for my passport with middle name and passport only have middle initial but the application requested my full name so wondering if my Driver License with middle name will work I submitted that but passport does not have middle name spelled out

Hello everyone,

Here’s my situation: I applied for the DTV Visa on Wednesday, February 26. My status was Pending Document Check for two days until today, Friday, February 28. They requested a more recent photo with a plain white background, which I uploaded. As soon as I submitted it, my status changed instantly to Pending Approval.

Has anyone in this group applied at the Jakarta embassy? If so, how long did it take after reaching Pending Approval to receive the visa?

(As a side question, is it possible that even after reaching Pending Approval, they might request additional documents?)

I have a flight back to Bangkok on Thursday, March 6. Should I keep my flight, or is it too uncertain? Thanks!
