Iāve found that tag Thai doesnāt really work with personal QR codes, it will work for businesses but when it comes to small stall holders who are often using personal QR; it just fails. Which is a shame.
yes mate like I said, they are notoriously difficult. Whilst KL have their āofficial requirementsā listed in said document, they are by far the most tedious when it comes to nitpicking.
Someone applied in Germany, with similar situation to this guy, and they just noted on the additional remarks the expiry date of the passport (see attached)
Whilst itās probably normal for other embassies to do this, KL being KL didnāt.
donāt get me wrong, Iām not saying in any way, that itās the right process which KL in particular have. However, what I will say is that itās easier to renew your passport before hand, than to try and get a visa copied over to a new passport once renewed after the expiry of your old one.
if your visa that youāre applying for, is longer than 3 years & the country in question doesnāt provide visas longer than passport validity (like Thailand most normally does) & especially when applying from somewhere as strict as KL, then yes.
