Because I live there and have a wife for 17 yr

embassy site was full by 15 seconds after opening at 09.00hrs as that's how long it took me to get to the pick your flight and seat section which was already full by then '15 seconds' and the whole site closed down by 09.20hrs . That's how far I got, pick a seat!

17 years

No I got stuck here.

I'm Australian.

@Andrew ******

no I see what you mean. However embassy site say it will be issued after you have submitted the ASQ hotel booking which I did. But have not been issued with one as of yet. Which leads me to believe I was not going to be picked anyway. I have a registered log in account for foreigner and all details were entered. It is now of course closed until next month.

Log in to all the embassy sites in Europe, hmm. Food for thought.

@Ken ******

interesting idea.

Patience is all there is. My wife of 17 years and everything I have is in Bangkok so I have no choice. Thanks for your kind wishes.

@Andrew ******

after all the emails I sent I had one telling me to send my details which I did with copies of all the relevant documents. That was the only reply. And to log into the web site to register which I did. I left my contact details at the embassy today again after the discussion. It terminated with try again next month, sorry.
