Popular Post theonetrueaussie Posted August 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2014 Just got back from a visa run to KL for a new tourist visa.Was a little worried about the new rules and back to back visas as I had already had a 2 entry TV this year and 2 x 1 entry TV from last year.All went smoothly and no problems at all, No questions asked at all for the visa and straight through immigration at the airport with no questions asked either and no need to show any money. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Good report and KL isn't a bad place for an overnight either. In the meantime, over in Vientiane.... No need to ask what the poor people are doing then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because some look a little bit too young to be expat or teacher, or even visa runner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigt3365 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 My friend was in KL last week. She said it was absolute chaos. Mainly due to all those being turned down on ED visas. She said it looked like close to 100 people were being refused visas. She got her visa no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

istinspring Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) I got tourist visa 1 months ago, traveled from Surat Thani by flight (and custom officers were not really friendly they told that if i return back w/o proper visa they will give me only 7 days). Landed in KL, spend here few days then traveled to Penang and applied to visa here w/o any problems. Flight back from KL to Surat again.

Because some look a little bit too young to be expat or teacher, or even visa runner! It was the +350m long conga-line to get into the Thai Embassy in Vientiane to apply for a visa. Apparently there was only 2 counters open and the whole affair took about 10 hours... just to submit the application.

Yes, i heard reports that it's difficult in KL, so i decided to apply in Penang. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonetrueaussie Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 To get a tourist visa is easy in KL but to get an education visa it is not very easy at all from what I have read. I took an early flight and arrived at the embassy around 11am. The wait time to be served was a whole 30 seconds, had to make them wait while I filled out the form followed by a 20 minute wait while they processed the form and I was then asked to pay.Kl really is an amazing place, Easy enough to get a tourist visa and so many great places to shop not to mention 5 star hotels at very cheap rates.

SeaVisionBurma Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Kl is my preferred place for visa runs. Great food choices, excellent clothes shopping for larger western sizes in good brands, and although a little dearer than Thailand there are still plenty of well priced hotel options. Embassy in KL must be hit and miss for being crowded though - I breezed through last month on a Friday morning with only 8 other people waiting at opening time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muffy Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I was in Vientiane two weeks ago to get my wife an Ed visa after being refused anything in KL . I saw the huge lines and grabbed an agent , the only way to go as far as I am concerned . Waiting at the pool was nice . Had a great agent too , delivered to the hotel pool the next day .

dmitri Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 It seems that most of you guys were flying out of Vientiane back to Thailand. Any experience with land crossing on the way back? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
