I received an ED visa at the consulate in Bali, school is hand2hand combat in Chiang Mai. Had 6 visa exempt stamps in my passport from the last three years. Easiest visa application process I’ve ever done. Absolutely nobody else was at the consulate when I dropped off my passport on Monday, just one gentleman who was working there. He took all my documents and passport no questions asked. Picked up passport Thursday, place was completely empty, he remembered who I was and handed me my passport right when I walked in.
My apologies if this type of post is not allowed but would have given me a lot of reassurance had I known how lax it was at the consulate in Bali.
