1.The change in status occurred on Saturday (06.21). I remember they were off on Saturdays

2.I uploaded all pages of my new passport, but not all pages of my old passport. They haven't put forward any opinions yet

Has anyone received a DTV Visa from Royal Thai Consulate-General, Los Angeles yet? I ask because I'm leery of applying to them, since the last time I did (for a tourist visa) they denied my visa, refused to offer a reason, and would not refund the application fee. It was only $40, so no big deal. However I do not want to pay $400 for a DTV application and have them refuse the visa without communicating with me. TIA.

Just asked the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Ho Chi Minh City,

Good morning, Sorry to bother you but i your consulate open Monday the11th of December ? Thank You

Answer : Yes. We open on that day
