Well, it’s crunch-time and I am pulling my hair out. Assuming my trip is not cancelled by the Tuesday announcement, the incompetence of my hotel and Thai pass application process, I’m due to fly out on the 12th… 9 days from now. Hotel has dicked around so long and does not seem to understand how urgently I need my reservation document to apply for Thai Pass. I have every single thing they need. Every document. My application has been rejected 3 times. Last time it took over 10 days to get the rejection letter. I’m just frantic. If I don’t get my Thai pass in time, what do I do?? Print out every single document and bring them with and hope for the best? Or just cancel my trip?

I would like to ask if there are any differences or bigger/smaller difficulties when applying for Non-Immigrant B visa (as MD of a new company in Thailand) in following embassies: Hanoi, Phnom Phen, Penang and Vientiane. Could anyone, from their personal experience, either recommend or not which would be the easiest one? Or are they all the same in case I will have all the required documents? Thank you for advice!

Ya think?

FYI

1 Year NON B multiple entry possibly only possible as DIRECTOR. I'm just back from Penang with only 90 days and single entry. I am employee / share holder 49% . 4 people applied for a 1 year NON B. Only one, a Director got the 1 year. Me and an other was first given 1 year but made VIOD. The next page in the pasport was a 90 day VISA. On the embassy we where told that you have to be director in some way.

Penang tourist visa.

Left Thai a day late as misread a 6 for an 8. Was not charged at BKK

in penang I turned up mid morning to be told that they only give out 200 tickets a day. I was late.

Paid a small ‘fee’ to someone. 100flipflops, and that got me in.

Wanted flight out of Thai info, which I didn’t have. Booked a cheap one and next day they didn’t ask for it. Hahah

I did get a stamp saying the holder of this passport travels multiple... you know the one.

This is only my second tourist visa-first from Hanoi July 16. In between have had a 9month edu and multiple 30 day on arrival.

Sensed a feeling of cracking down.

Hope helps anyone who needs.

Interesting.

UK Visa services outsourced. No idea on the effect on those looking to get a visa for wives or girl friends for the UK. Note the nearly £6 charge per email.
