Poor service even when 72 hours have exceeded you are asked to still wait
I applied for an e-visa on 16th October 2025 and received an email confirming that my application was being processed. However, after 72 hours, I still had not received my visa. During this time, I repeatedly checked my status online and sent six to seven emails to the official query address, only to receive the same automated response each time: “Your application is in progress.”
Despite clearly marking my case as urgent—as I had a flight booked—there was no genuine support or communication from anyone. It was impossible to speak to a real person or get any meaningful update. The lack of response and transparency caused immense stress and anxiety, especially given the reason for my travel.
Due to this delay, I missed my flight and still have no visa. This trip was meant for my mother’s funeral ceremony in India, a deeply personal and emotional moment I will now miss because of this system’s failure and lack of care.
The ongoing uncertainty and inability to speak with anyone have left me no choice but to book a physical appointment, adding even more difficulty and distress to an already painful situation. Every enquiry I make, the response is to wait; it is in process, even after 72 hours. The query email gives no information as to why there is a long wait, or if they need further information for the visa to be processed.
