One could argue that it actually has nothing to do with anonymous posting being enabled.

The participant has shared they were granted the visa in London, and that they're on their way to Thailand, likely sharing a brief story during their check-in with Emirates.

It was posted 7 hours ago, and the flight from London to Thailand Is ~12 hours, so the answer is likely that they are flying without access to Facebook.

Generally, it's best practice to cancel your visa before leaving Thailand to avoid future issues. You should email the Smart Visa Unit to confirm:

Interested to hear more opinions on this. For some, visas are a very personal topic. That's why Anonymous posting is available at the moment. Some have useful information to share — others insightful questions to ask. But, not all want to have that shown to everyone on their friends list, let alone publicly on Facebook. It also protects your inbox from agents bombarding you with scams.

Group feedback is welcome and appreciated. Currently, posting is kept open and transparent, without manual approval of each post. This is rare for visa groups; which are often controlled by a visa agents with a particular agenda.

Initially, the intention of this is aligned with the visa being new. There are many in the application stage, and some details are rapidly changing. Firstly, we need to collect and index a broad range of questions, before establishing the searchable knowledge base, the rules, and the longer term approach. Your feedback will guide this, too.

What are your thoughts — Is it time to add in a new rule for searching prior to posting? Do we turn on manual post approval and screen each post for repetitive topics?
