Alex Ve no it is not. If you dont have the deposit and an agent has done it for you, the visa is actually illegal. ...but you are right it may be a huge number

I stayed there about a year in 2007 but the lack of health care and basic infrastructure was the most outstanding reason why I decided against it. The kleptocracy that runs the place and the widespread environmental devastation were among other reasons. Plus the food isnt as good.

I traveled around the world for seven years. I was never a scammer or any kind of criminal. I paid my way and loved hopping in and out of countries. That was long before I came to Asia. I used Istanbul as my hub and loved traveling all over Europe. I often visited countries like the Netherlands, Greece and Czechoslovakia multiple times a year: to see museums, eat at restaurants and go to concerts. Just because others havent or cant imagine such kinds of tourists doesnt mean they dont exist. I wasnt even really very wealthy but I knew how to travel easily and cheaply. I have friends in their 60s who are spending months long holidays and they want to visit Thailand multiple times- these kinds of restraints are foolish.

It is weird. I have seen and used it everytime including recently except one time about a month ago. Possibly their server somehow can misidentify an IP address? No i just made that up. No idea why. But this happened to me once too.
