Does anybody know usually how long does it take after your status changes from “pending document check” to “pending approval” that you receive your actual approved visa?

How many days have you people experienced on pending approval for the thai visa ....I mean how many days did you have the status pending approval ....my status has been showing pending approval since monday of this week ....asked some friends some say 5 some say 10 ...is it normal?since i have no any email from them asking for additional documents.....Am I on the right side😂

Instead of asking how long been waiting, let's try a different way

Who actually got approved in either HCMC or Hanoi recently?

To avoid unnecessary clutter, only comment if you went into pending approval (final stage) post 1 May, as document checks/requests reset timers

Common sense say they should be processing in date order, so those still waiting might be able to estimate how much longer they have by seeing results of those approved

Also let's those planning on applying to estimate how long its really going to take these days

Application has been pending approval since May 8th. 13 calendar days so far.

I see a lot of others in similar status, but i feel this is kinda long. Is there a way to follow up with them?

Who has applied at the Thai Embassy in HCMC, Vietnam recently and is currently waiting for an update or results? 🤔

My girlfriend and me are waiting for an update and are wondering how many other people in this group are currently in the same situation here in HCMC.

We submitted our applications on May 13, the status has been on "Pending Approval" since Friday.

Just curious how many people in here are currently in the same boat. Maybe leave a comment with your submission date so that we can collect some data points. ✌️

Good luck everyone! 🙏

How long has your DTV application been on Pending Approval? Mine went from pending document check to pending approval. Is that a good sign?

Anyone gotten rejected after pending approval?

Hello everyone i applied for the dtv in ho chi minh on the 29th of April on the 6th of may changed to pending approval 😀

I got this other request document email.Is

It means I only need a selfie of Vietnam and a shopping purchase of Vietnam?

No need the stamp of Entry and exit certificate？

Because it supposed to be 5 work days get approved

But due to the Vietnam national holiday it delayed.

Means I only have this document a few days ago . If it’s ok to submit it?or I need come back to Vietnam again

Thank for your guys attention. I really need your advice

EDIT: Finally got it today, May 1st. Patience works! Thanks for all the comments

I've been stuck on "Pending Approval" since April 21st here in Hanoi. I originally submitted on the 18th (Friday afternoon) and got moved to Pending Approval on Monday, no documents check required. I'm applying for a workation visa and submitted a ton of documents so it should cover everything. I bought round-trip tickets and I'm going back to Thailand on May 14th. I've heard some conspiracy theories that the longer your stay here, the slower you'll be processed, so that might be it.

It's been about 8 working days so far, which I know isn't *super* long, but I've seen some people apply after me that have already been approved here in Hanoi. I know there might be a backlog from Songkran and there's a holiday here in Vietnam today and tomorrow. I sent consular.han@mfa.go.th an email yesterday morning with no response yet.

Anything else I can do besides just wait? Was hoping to go to Da Nang to celebrate after I get my visa but we'll see if I have time...
