Qatar called two days before the flight to say arrive 4 hours early as some people had missed flights due to long security queues at LHR.

I was advised on here to check in online (from 48 before) and print boarding pass beforehand.

I arrived 5 hours before, no wait to drop off my bag and through security in 30 mins. No forveveryone but suits me😃ps Strangely no security before 2nd flight🤔

Negative result...in about 6 hours. Freedom....😁

I'm not sure (maybe 23kg) as I only take about 18kg anyway, a smallish back sack, and a man bag for passports, valuables etc.

I am sure you know, but have prints of all your proofs (x 2 as a minimum, but x 4 to be safe).

Have a great trip. If there's anyone around in Patong over the next week might be nice to say hello over a coffee during the day😃

I wrote 'none, not applicable' on a piece of paper, took a picture and downloaded it. All fine, approved in 1 day😃

Paying for their time, not the copy.

No, but going soon. You have to enter the country within 3 months of the approval date. The 60 days starts from when you arrive.

Quite easy to do, although looks more in involved than it is. Once I had submitted it (London Embassy), apart from a small query they had, it was issued within 2 days.

Seems AXA or Luma are the smart choices
