Has anyone had luck emailing the local embassy to ask for expedited processing, giving a booked flight or hotel as a reason? Would doing this be neutral or could it hurt the chances of approval?

In my case, I have a month long Airbnb in bkk that I am currently paying for while I am waiting for the approval process in Cambodia since canceling it was not an option, so I’m actually paying for double accommodation right now. I imagine that would be fairly decent reason to ask for it.

Would appreciate advice or information if anyone has tried it.

Good afternoon all . I have a uk friend based in Shanghai who has a wife from Burundi.

They need a visa for her for a short holiday in Thailand but have been told it’s a 5 day processing time and the next appointment at Thai embassy Shanghai is end of July .

Anyone in the group have any idea if there is a way to fast track by any chance .

Thy are both legally resident in Shanghai by the way.

Thanks and regards

Chris
