@Tod ********
no, I had just missed the news that it was both by air and land.

So that means you can get 150 days now with one border run and one extension each time. Excellent! Thanks

@Tod ********
just to clarify, I thought the 45 day visa exempt was only by air but it seems you’re suggesting it’s also the case if doing a border run by land?

@Jack *****
also via Singapore. But yes, Qatar is a loss. Good luck

@Warren *******
no longer the case. Just made my application with a ‘normal’ ie smaller photo, no blue background.

Apparently they stopped worrying about this some time ago.

that online service is a f@@@ing nightmare! Im just grateful I live near the Liverpool consulate.

But, as others have said, 60 days is easy: 30day visa-free and extend for 1900. slightly more pricey than the original 60 day tourist visa but what the hey

I just got a 2 month tourist visa from the Liverpool consul and it was much easier than this: not asked for either proof of funds or onward travel. I mean, what other country asks you for proof of funds when applying for a tourist visa?!

Yes, had to wait a couple of weeks for an appointment so don’t leave it too late

as I said, im nowhere near an embassy here and it would be a real hassle to get to hull, London etc. However, im aware it can be done by post but that it has all become more complicated of late
