Follow up on The Thai consulate in Bali. It is closed today and tomorrow, but I was still able to pick up my passport with a new SETV. Total time spent dropping off and picking up my passport was maybe five minutes.

Frank did you take a sabbatical from staying in Thailand for a few months before getting this latest visa?

I applied Tuesday and collected Thursday (today). They had it posted they were closed Wed-Fri, but since I dropped it off on an "open" day, they let me pick it up on a closed day. I am not sure that is a standard protocol, but at least one other person that I saw dropped off and picked up the same days.

Great to hear you were successful. I had recently booked (12th June) and then cancelled a trip to Bali because of the holiday period; can i ask what day you applied and what day you collected?

I have been getting back to back SETVs for a couple of years now around SE Asia, and even though it is more expensive to go to Bali than it is other countries right around Thailand, none are as quick, easy, and convenient as here.

The Gardener handle the return of passport as well doing a precheck of docs before you apply for Visa. Unfortunately the handle only tourist visas.

Yeah. I was nervous about it when he told me to come back today even though they had a sign clearly saying they were going to be closed for the holiday. There was even a hand written “closed” sign on the door when I got there. I rattled the gate a bit, and the guy that works there popped out and let me in and gave me my passport.
