Hello from Hanoi, Submitted on 9 march sunday night (pending document check ) 10 march change to (pending approval) util today 13 march, still stuck here lol anyone had a similar experience?

I will fill out my application form for a single entry tourist visa to Thailand for 60days I intend to travel the end of January, how soon should I submit this bearing in mind all government departments will be down over the Christmas period, and I will need to book my airfare prior to submitting paperwork as the application form asks for flight details.

Thankyou for your advice .
