RE: Thailand Visa Problems continue
speaking of SA. A South African friend of mine is desperately trying to maintain a Thai visa because of his Thai fiance. He is having even more trouble than most people because of the fact that he is from Africa.
recently on a visa trip to Vietnam (for a Thai visa) he was told that all people from Africa have to apply at Thai embassies in their home countries and are not eligible for visas to Thailand in Vietnam. This is not at all true but has simply been adapted by the consulates / embassies in Vietnam on their own decision. Crazy.
Oh man how utterly FRUSTRATING!!! And to add to that, we probably have the most inefficient home affairs department on the planet!!! lol! I wish I had some knowledge which would be able to steer him in the right direction, but sadly I don't as I have never traveled anywhere that required a visa. Hope he manages to get it right soon! It really can get to a point where you want to tear your hair out with those people and their procedures!
