Went to IT Laksi today and got my Visa-exempt extension today. Just want to recommend that if you're going to do this -- MAKE AN ONLINE APPOINTMENT! It is so much easier . They honor their word there, that you'll get it all done within 15 mins if you go for your appointment on time.

Just remember: PRINT OUT the confirmation of your appointment and add this to your required documents of TM7, TM30, the two acknowledgement documents, copies of your passport data page and latest entry stamp.

Also -- lesson learnt today -- the ID Photo you have to attach to the TM7 form must be taken against a white background.

*BTW, a bit of fun info --When you're done, go to the Second floor -- two great discount stores there for all kinds of household /office needs --DIY and THANK YOU shop.
