Do visa approvals in Thailand happen on weekends or only business days?

John *******

@John *********

also, I think people need to also realize, if you submit in the afternoon or evening, that is really a next day submission.

Do visa approvals in Thailand happen on weekends or only business days?

John *******

Approvals are only made on business days, but it seems that in some situations, the online system updates slightly later. So it is possible that the staff approved an application today but it doesn’t show up in the system until tomorrow. When did you apply?

Will a rejected DTV visa with a VOID sticker affect my Non B visa application?

John *******

- Yes, I know that there are sticker visas, as my DTV is a sticker. Just seems like extra work to create the sticker to just then reject it.

Will a rejected DTV visa with a VOID sticker affect my Non B visa application?

John *******

I am curious, does this mean you were issued a DTV and then at a later stage it was rejected? Why was it rejected?

What should I do if my Thai visa application status is still pending after 5 business days?

John *******

- was just highlighting, since it is still June 3rd in the US, that no one would have been working today. June 2nd is more confusing. While it is a Thai holiday, it is not listed as one for most Thai embassies and consulates. 26th was US Memorial Day
