I am aware of the change, just wanted to know that it is being applied as expected, you know the gap there is sometimes between the law and practical application.
You could always just get a visa from there, but I guess that with a 45-day exemption that’s not such an improvement. It sure saves you the hassle and fee.
I did that. The problem I had was actually the bank statement, my bank doesn’t issue those and they need a page with my name and balance. I just printed the app’s page and another with a transaction.
I heard they aren’t strict about the visa application, but there is also some guy who posted here yesterday that their visa got rejected because of a small name divergence. Honestly, I should have just entered with a visa exemption and skipped the hassle, it’s only a 15 days difference.
