Based on recent experiences shared by applicants at the Royal Thai Embassy in Jakarta, the "pending documents check" stage for a Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) typically lasts 2-3 working days if your initial submission is complete and meets the requirements (e.g., proof of remote work, financial statements showing at least 500,000 THB, and other supporting docs). Once cleared, the status shifts to "pending approval," which can take an additional 3-7 working days for a decision, though some report full approval in as little as 5 working days total from submission.

The embassy's official processing time for all visas, including DTV, is 10 working days (excluding the submission day), but real-world timelines at Jakarta are often faster—around 7-14 days end-to-end—especially for straightforward workation applications. Your 10-day wait so far suggests you're likely in the approval phase now; many applicants see the first status change (from documents check to approval review) within the first week.

Note that starting November 26, 2024, all applications (including follow-ups) must go fully online via thaievisa.go.th, with no in-person submissions. If you haven't heard back soon, email
