I applied for a spouse visa in HCM on the afternoon of the 28th afternoon.

The status of the checking document was changed to pending approval on Sunday, and until today, neither additional documents have been requested nor approval has been received. I have submitted all the required docs as:

PP bio

HCM arrival stamp

Flight ticket

Hotel booking in HCM

6months bank statement with 500k Baht under my name

Cover letter

My husband's DTV visa

Sponsorship letter from my husband

Marriage certificate

What I'm worried about now is that my flight is tomorrow afternoon, so if I don't have the approval yet, will I be able to pass through the Thai immigration as the arrival visa?

Please also assist sharing if you have any experience about what to do for the stamp if I get approved after arriving in Thailand 🥹

Thank you 🙏

Any successful or unsuccessful stories about obtaining a visa from Nairobi? Due to the long waiting times for visa processing in countries near Thailand, we decided to fly back to Kenya, considering it’s for an East African passport holder. I’m still thinking about applying for a soft power visa or a workcation visa with a large YouTube channel (not travel-related, more educational).

Unfortunately, the embassy in Nairobi has been unresponsive despite making dozens of phone calls throughout the month and sending several emails. The only information available on their website is that the DTV visa can be issued.

Another question, if the main applicant gets approved in Nairobi, is it possible for us to return to Jakarta or Taipei for family members to apply as dependents? The embassy in Nairobi states on their website that they don’t accept documents without an East African residence permit. Has anyone tried this approach having the main applicant apply in their home country while dependents apply for their visas at embassies near Thailand? Thank you!

Hello everyone, I hope you are well, I need someone to help me and suggest me, the issue is: I have friends from the Dominican Republic who would like to travel to Thailand, here in the Dominican Republic there is no Thai embassy or consulate, how can they get the tourist visa? thanks for answering.

Hello guys,

I live in France, I applied for an e-visa for my wife who is Moroccan, on November 28, 2023. To this day, I still have no news. Our departure is for January 9, 2024 and return is for January 24, 2024. If on the day of departure, we have no news about the e-visa, can we still leave and request a visa exemption on site?

Thanks a lot for your answers

Hello! I am desperately trying to get my OA from South Africa and I recently applied for a police clearance certificate which is now older than 3 months. I applied again only to be told I have to wait 30 working days or more. Anyone one has some guidance as I have already booked a flight. Any help will be truly appreciated. Thank you

This is not visa-related but is anyone else finding their online 90-day report, seems to be pending for longer than normal? Mine is due today but I will go in person tomorrow with my school. I submitted it online after receiving the auto-generated email from immigration and used the same information from prior 90-day reports, yet this time, still pending. Has anyone heard anything on what the hold-up is?

I have a Canadian friend who applied for a multi-entry tourist visa. Unfortunately, since Canada is apparently "backed up" he was not granted the visa before his flight arrived in CNX and had to enter with "visa-exempt" status. Is it possible to change to the mutli-entry tourist visa if they receive it after landing here? Thanks!

How long does it take you to get the e-visa approved ?

For me it has been 3 days and it sill says pendinng. ( US citizen)

Please be aware that all immigration offices will be closed on Monday 5th of June as it’s a substitution day for the Queens birthday. Plan accordingly.
