You might get rusty if they make it too easy on you, what fun would that be.

@Tony *********

might be a confusing answer if people don’t know the 45 day VE is back to 30

@William ******

getting a tourist visa is absurdly easy, you are indeed being taken advantage of

@Jo *********

once again, its 5-10 seconds of time to send a message, if nothing else they might be able to reply why the system has been down for 3 days or some news on that front.

Youve already wasted tenfold more time replying then him sending them a simple question 🤷‍♂️

@Jo *********

well ive had the opposite experience and so have plenty of others, considering what i said costs nothing more then 5-10 seconds of time your initial reply was a bit obtuse and your personal experience anecdotal.

@Jo *********

when they stopped the embassies from doing visas during covid and issued the all from inside thailand the embassies were able to help people with the status of their visa and in some cases expedite them, just because its a separate entity doesnt mean theres no lines of communication from the embassy to them

Sending a message takes almost no effort for “no they cant help” and not even trying, and as i said they might at least be able to offer an explanation why its been down for 3 days

@Jo *********

they can give an explanation or possibly help push the visa through

I would try to reach out to your local embassy, they probably have a fb and respond to messages

i had 2 covid extentions last year (although one i used days) and one the year prior and i recently did a 3 week trip to PH and came back visa exempt (entered in Nov on TR) and had no issues, but any given sunday around here.

The large gap in his hopefully is in his favor.

think Mae sot opened for border bounces in February, seen several people say they had success and pictures of stamps.
