Thanks for the updates

The Thai Prime Minister made her first official visit recently, When there are high profile visits, everything else stops and all staff focus on that visit. This probably caused a delay. Normally it would be 11 business days

It is typically 11 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) for most nationalities, but it seems like lately it is taking them longer lately. What is your nationality?

Anonymous participant are you a Japan national or a resident of Japan?

- Because you are using it as your stance for what others should do. So, am curious what type of questions you asked and from what Thai embassy. Most people don’t have luck when asking them questions, but you somehow have.

@Stéfan *******

- No one is afraid. This issue has happened multiple times now and most who did reach out to the embassy never hear back. I am curious, why are you reaching out multiple times?

It takes that embassy 5-10 business days to process. You don’t count the day of submission in that count. Since Monday was a Thai holiday, today is the 2nd business day. 3 to 8 more to go (Monday will be a holiday too).

He wasn’t suppose to leave Laos while the visa is being processed. Therefore, he is out of luck. He can not use the missing flight excuse, as it will directly inform them he didn’t follow the rules. Furthermore, how does one miss their flight?

Anonymous participant - 1. You would need to convince the embassy that your medical issues forced you to leave. That might be hard to do. It would probably need to be something very serious that could not be addressed locally. If that serious, they might have concerns with you moving to Thailand, as how will it be dealt with there? Even if you have an amazing excuse why you had to leave, medically, there is a good chance that they will still reject, as they on not big on exceptions. Worst case is you get rejected and reapply again. However. What is confusing is the statement that you left Vietnam and are not in Thailand either. Where are you? And why didn’t you just apply from that location in the first place?
