I’m within 2 days of my departure and my O evisa still has not been issued. I submitted it 6 weeks ago, easily qualify and the website still says “pending approval”. This is using the New York office. Anyone have similar experiences? I’m about to panic.

Hey everyone! I have just submitted an application in Hanoi, but because of the Luanr new year holidays past week, I assume they are overloaded with applications from last week. Maybe someone knows how these holidays affect the speed at which they process? Plus 1 week to the standard time maybe? Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I would appreciate some assistance, please. I submitted a Thai e-Visa application through the Royal Thai Embassy in Abuja on 13 January, and the status has remained “In progress – pending approval.”

My travel date is scheduled for 22 February, and I am becoming concerned about the delay. Has anyone experienced a similar situation or can advise on the best way to follow up with the Embassy?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regarding 90 days registration. Normally online takes about 3 days for approval. This time it's been 6 days and still pending. Are others also waiting this long? I've never had delays before.

Hi. I applied for basic 60 day tourist e visa on 1st Oct 2025. Its 15 days later and still waiting om pending (1)..I've applied many times before and always took about 4 working days . I know we get exemption but I went for 60 days in June and July this year as well as Nov Dec last year so the immigration moaned at me for coming too many times and to get a thai wife. I actually got married to thai girl during that stay. In June. I only need 60 day tourist visa. I cannot contact the embassy in anyway phoning or emails and trying the fb messengers now. Which fb messenger is best for a reply? Thank you.

Hi guys . Thanks for adding me. I'm new here.

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.
