I applied for Dtv (business) through the e-visa service in Sweden, application submitted 19 October, it's still pending document check. So almost 3 weeks with no progress. Anyone knows if this is normal?
hello everyone. would like to know your experiences in HCMC about non B and non O. I‘m sure this topic has been discussed multiple times, but waiting here become more and more anxious as we are not home and we do not know when we can go back home. So like to have some good faith or average timeline from your past experiences .
My husband submitted application for non B on 28th Oct, asked and gave additional documents on 29th Oct, became pending approval since 31st Oct, still waiting.
I can only apply my non O when he has his visa approved.
On embassy website, it says 5 working days . from what i read, it's barely ever 5 working days, what is your processing time? how did you pass by these anxious waiting time😂
Hi everyone I plan to apply for my visa in Ho Chi Minh City on Monday November 10 but I’m hearing the wait is long right now so I’m considering Hanoi instead If you’re in Vietnam which city is faster these days and any recent wait times or tips
Has anyone recently applied for a non immigrant b visa for teaching in Vientiane? My school has never been through the process before so we're figuring it out together and it's hard to find clear information online. The system changed earlier this year which is why I'd like to hear from people who've done it recently please. 🙏
I believe I need to make an appointment online and then arrive 24 hours before my appointment so that I can upload my Laos arrival card along with all the other paper work (which i already have prepared) Can anyone confirm that arriving 24 hours before my appointment is necessary?
And does it really take 5- 15 days? How long did you have to wait?
I imagined moving things online would make the process more efficient and it used to only take 2-3 days, so the mention of 5-15 days surprised me!
Any insight, tips and recent experiences would be very much appreiated, thanks! 🙏
Hi,anyone out there recently done a non o 1 year marriage visa extension at Khon Kaen immigration.Im wondering how long it took on average to receive the extension,as I’ve only got 3 weeks from submitting paperwork until my original 90 days runs out,and can anyone confirm wether you can still get the 60 day extension based on marriage,thank you.
I submitted my paperwork on October 13th, got documents requested on the 17th, and I’ve been waiting since. Is it worth visiting the Embassy in-person to get an update? They immediately hangup the phone if I try to call, and when I emailed them before, they said it would be processed by yesterday. I’m supposed to head out tonight, so I’m worried.
Dear members please advise , we are in a bit of unusual situation.. passport holder British with golden visa in UAE, works for UAE company on rotation in Iraq ..owns a property in Thailand where wife and kid live ( Educational visa ) funds are not a problem . But where do we apply for FAST approval ..Dubai or better Vietnam . And should we put as home adress our house in Thailand ? ( prove is available of course)
Applied for DTV on the 7th of October in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Haven’t heard back since. Status on the Thai visa website is (and has been for a few days) “pending approval”. No email asking for additional documents received.
Anyone in a similar situation? Seems like it’s taking longer than usual.
London consulate, how long is the process taking at the moment? I’m due to arrive in Phuket on 11th November and I’ve been waiting 2 weeks now for approval. Is this normal? I heard they were sorting visas in just a few days…
Hi , my non-o e-visa application based on retirement has been on processing, pending approval since 1st October at London thai embassy. I've not been asked to submit any further documents or photos. I put an expected date of arrival in Thailand as 29/11/25 . Is this normal ?
