How long does it take for the KL Thai Embassy to process a child's ED visa with a parent's Non-O dependent visa?

Ron *******

what I'm telling you is based on people applying for an ED visa to attend a language school.

I don't know of anyone who has applied there for a child.

Most people do that in Thailand.

Good luck anyway

How long does it take for the KL Thai Embassy to process a child's ED visa with a parent's Non-O dependent visa?

Ron *******

sorry no I don't.

What I can tell you though is that the majority of schools absolutely tell you to avoid KL for ED visas.

KL has always been a problem embassy for ED and Non O visas.

How long does it take for the KL Thai Embassy to process a child's ED visa with a parent's Non-O dependent visa?

Ron *******

I really cannot understand why you're applying for these visas in KL? It can take anywhere between 2 working days up to a month, depending on circumstances and pass ports.

Even so, you best have all they are asking for

Is it safe to perform a same-day visa exemption run from Thailand to Laos and back?

Ron *******

They absolutely will not put you back on a flight to Laos as you need a visa to enter Laos.

You'll be going home once you have bought a ticket

What challenges might I face when applying for a Thai visa in Kota Bharu, Malaysia, or the Philippines?

Ron *******

If you cannot get a visa in KL, your chances in Manila are the same.

Manila is one of the worst places to even attempt it.

Read the requirements.

Plus they are only open 3 days a week for 2hrs per day.

Kota Bharu is controlled by KL in what they can and cannot do.

Do UK passport holders still need a visa to enter Hong Kong for a Thai visa run?

Ron *******

If you're going to Hong Kong to apply for a Thai Visa, then you need to have Hong Kong residency to be able to apply.

Hong Kong is now Evisa application only.
