FYI I just went to Udon Immigration with a COVID letter from U.S. Embassy via email (also printed it out in color) and they said it had to be an original document via post mail lol... I asked the U.S. Embassy but no reply yet, I doubt they will offer that. Police were grumpy today and I pushed a few times to be sure... not sure if their excuse is accurate or just bullshit trying to delay dealing with these.

Update: U.S. Embassy replied to me and were surprised, and said Thai Immigration offices are supposed to accept the digital/printout versions of letters.

Penang SETV update.

Definitely had to fill in a Penang Application Form. The man will give you one if you don’t have the right one.

Gave confirmation of accommodation, confirmation of flight. (They have to be printed - printer van just outside RM10 first page RM2 for the rest of the pages also you can email him anything you need printed)

Also copy of passport. We have a daughter and I gave a copy of her unabridged birth certificate.

Didn’t get asked about bank acc.

All went well and picked up the passports today.
