Is it worth applying for the DTV via an agent

I

I applied for a non-O visa from USA over a month ago. My flight is next week. I’m starting to worry. Evisa site says documents have been reviewed and it’s “pending approval”. Just emailed them to find out what’s going on. Is this normal? 

I submitted my first online 90 report on Oct 20. My reporting date is Oct 28. My first attempt rejected immediately as I made a silly mistake but they accepted my second attempt. I haven't heard anything. Should I be concerned yet?

Just to be clear, it's my second 90 day report but my first online application.

Has anyone experienced seeing their application status already set to "Pending Approval" and the following day, received another Document Request (status moved back as well)?

Has anyone recently been approved from Ottawa (Canada)? If yes, when did you apply? Thank you!

I've had a bit of confusion over this myself so would love to hear from anyone that has written information regarding staying in the same country you have applied from while your visa is processing (linked sources only please, not ones opinion).

I was under the impression you had to stay in the same country you applied from, but the gym I am getting paperwork from told me I can leave (just not enter Thailand) so I called the Thai Embassy in Canberra today and they said that it is okay to leave the country.

This was obviously all verbal so would love to read information on this before I risk having my application canceled

Jakarta

Has anyone else been waiting nearly a month for their soft power approval in Jakarta?

Hi everyone! I was just asked to provide additional documents, and I’ve submitted them. Will the process go faster than the initial review, or will I need to wait another two weeks?

Thanks

Has anyone hear had experience applying with the thai dtv visa, ho chi minh city?

Submitted application and payment to Chicago consulate and it is now telling me “pending payment” after it said my debit payment failed. I did not receive any sort of fraud notification from bank, nor have a seen any payments out of my account. It’s not giving an option to retry payment again. Any advice on what to do? Thanks in advance 🙏

Update: I restarted application and used another debit card. Had to verify with bank before having it approved the 3rd time! It’s now in processing.
