Just wanted to report on TR60 visa experience at HCMC Royal Thai consulate today. They are super strict with the requirements. Need absolutely everything.

- Hotel bookings for EVERY SINGLE 60 days you stay in Thailand

- Flight bookings for into and out of Thailand within 60 days

- 6 months worth of bank statements printed out. I found out that the Thai book bank simply will not work.

- The photo they tell you should be 4x6cm but the form actually asks for 4.5x3.5cm (but both seem to work)

- and yes the America dollar bills must be crisp, pristine and fresh!

And yes there is a nearby printing shop which will help you print the paper and make your pockets a bit lighter as well.

Too bad the actual visa service is operating out of a twenty foot shipping container. Super hot there and no fan. Not sure if this is just a temporary thing.

I just have a small question. I booked the 60 days accomodation in thailand and it got free cancellation before November 1. Would it be safe to cancel the accomodation now, since the consulate staff already have my paper documents? Or should I wait until after I pick up my visa in a few days?
