"We moderators are human not AI robots" ... lol, anyone who hasn't figured that out by your first class informative or quite often, and deserved, sarcastic as fark replys, should really stay at home. 😉

Jokes aside, keep up the great work you and the other mods do, it is literally a lifeline for so many. 🥇🏆👍

It's a bit random tbh, I know some folk who've had several visits and interviews at the IO but we've never had a visit and only had 1 interview at the IO which was just a casual chit chat with my wife and our neighbour who was there as our witness.

... it's been a while Tod, pre-covid, but as well as still showing available on their website, I seem to remember a post somewhere of someone mentioning they got the ME there. 🤔

The Thai Consulate in Saigon still offers them, or at least on their website, that's where I used to get my non O ME's from.

@Joe *******
... I was doing that working O&G a number of years ago and they pulled me up, questioned me and told me to get the correct visa. I then did a few years on the muliple entry visa until covid and now on the 1 year extensions getting re-entry permits when required.

... very unlikely that's possible as most check ins only open 3hrs before the flight.

@Roberto ****
... that's normal. The TM30 is easy, just do it online whenever you return from anywhere.

They always slip a new one into my passport in Chiang Mai. I just did my extension a few weeks ago and when I asked she showed me it tucked into the plastic cover for my Passport.

@Tod ********
... correct, they did that for me at Chiang Mai last week but I had to ask as they slipped it into my PP plastic cover and didn't tell me. 😉

@Mike ******
... yes, every foreigner is required to file a TM30 or have it filed for them.
