what is there not to like about a 2 day bus journey to see a crappy knock off market? 😉

I did all of my 60 day bounces at the land border at Mai Sai on my METV. No issues.

You can email all of your documents up to Hull first - they will check them, and let you know if there are any issues before you go up. We did the trek up from Brighton as it’s apparently so much easier than dealing with London.

We got there late morning, and because we had emailed our docs up before, the whole thing took about 20 mins.

It’s not a bad train journey. Out of Kings X, then take a taxi from the station to the consulate.

As far as I know Hull is still open. Their website has recently been updated with 2018 opening times. Could be wrong but there’s a phone number on the website if you want to give them a call.

If you are doing this in CNX you need to have the bigger photos. There’s a shop that does them at Promenada next to the ticket queue. It’s disappointing to find this out when you get to the front of the queue and get sent away!

it’s the slightly bigger visa size ones. Not sure if the measurements, but you can get them done there.

Photo size depends on which immigration office. For example Chiang Mai require the bigger size photos and will not accept passport size.

I did mine two weeks ago on a Monday. I went there for 13:00 when they are back from lunch. It took about 4 hrs.

Just the usual paperwork (copies of departure card, passport photo page and current stamp, one photo and a completed TM7).

No, didn’t see anything.
