Will do.

Am heading to Thailand next week expecting a 60 day visa exempt stamp on arrival and will be following up when there to identify the protocols required to tick the boxes - accommodation and accredited Thai cooking school enrolment, for example for next year and beyond for up to 6 months stay each year during our colder months.

Applying for a visa since April 30th, they only keep saying that the visa will be finalised just before the travel date. This is super frustrating!!!
