tribalfusion001 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 That's a week a go, I know you had it posted to you, but that's quite a delay. Hmmm, that's interesting, stamped on the 16th, 40 working days, maybe Monday for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chogiekim Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 They told me they are really serious who they let into the country now. They also said they have to check every case very closely now and make sure everything adds up. Just glad mine is finished now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tribalfusion001 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 You submitted on 26th March jessicanguyenself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribalfusion001 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 I think the delay to chogiekim and retard was that the passport/documents were posted, rather than collected. No one on here has posted if they collected the passports which were submitted on 16th March, it looks like they were all processed on 16th May, so should have been available for collection the next day.

I cant collect it at the embassy since i live ho chi minh city and the embassy is in hanoi , visa is processing in thailand . So they will send it to my office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracos Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 We didn't have the SMS notification service (apparantly only available for True network?). As far as I'm aware she didn't pay for email service either but we still got email notification last Friday. Waited for the stated 1 working day in the email and picked up in person on Monday - no problems at all with the service. Just for the record it was a successful application - all of the hours spent searching through this forum to get a complete application paid off! Can't help with the processing date though as we asked for ours to be post-dated to 1 June which they did. Also as a side point if you submitted a large folder of original documents plus another folder of copies you will get 2 large folders back. I was very worried when my wife came back with the 2 folders that we submitted thinking they returned everything as application not successful! When we got home I realised that they just took the documents they wanted from the copies folder and gave everything else back. No unsuccessful applications so far - looks like the ThaiVisa members are well versed on the information required. Good luck to those still waiting.
