The staff advised various customer from Phuket and Pattaya that they can not get Tourist visa here if warning stamp in passport, obviously your case is different, but I can not ask now. He mentioned as long as paperwork is OK people can apply Non Immigrant there.
I would love to be able to answer your question, but too any things do not make sense at the moment. This Consulate is new 3-4 years old, it was build on purpose to handle the increasing number of applications and now the turnaround ?
this all does not make sense. If that guy is high level he should have approached all companies and talked to us, give a quota and sale for THB500 each, easy money for the rest of the lifetime of this system. Now he sit on a bomb.
