Just a tip. It's no longer a quick in and out at MTT. It's turned into a nightmare of lines. Sitting here on my like 8th set of chairs waiting to see someone about converting my under consideration to a stamp.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The current process at MTT has become significantly more time-consuming than before, with long lines observed. Users are sharing their experiences and tips, suggesting that arriving early may facilitate quicker service. It's also discussed whether an appointment is necessary for converting visas under consideration to stamps and the urgency of handling visa extensions before the deadlines.

When I went for first visit I saw 3 people. On my return trip I was only white person but was seen quickly after the lunch break. Good things happen when early. Sadly I leave today even though I got the extension

yah, but the verdict is still out if that was a good idea. I might try setting an appointment and using the tent next time. Something changed from my last trip and I have no idea how to get in and out faster the second trip up there.
