TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is facing a dilemma with their remote worker visa application currently pending approval, as they have a flight to Thailand in 3 days. The community suggests multiple approaches, including flying to Thailand regardless and doing a 'border bounce' upon receiving visa approval, waiting for the visa to be approved before traveling, or considering flight flexibility options. Several comments encourage the user to check embassy processing times, and others share similar experiences with delays.

My understanding is it doesn't matter because they send the Visa electronically.

Hopefully, you get it before that. Otherwise, you can come to Thailand, and when it arrives in the email, just do a border bounce, and make sure when you enter, tell them that you have a DTV.

A round trip to a local country after you get it is going to be way cheaper than any other option

Wait till it is granted, or take the risk they reject the application and leave for Thailand.

Advise is always wait with booking flight tickets till visa is granted, or book tickets you can change.

This advice is valid everywhere in the world, but you obviously missed it.

If you can't get refund on flight just go to Thailand.

You will have to leave Thailand and come back to activate your DTV visa though
