If its below 200, then there shouldnt be any issues , if its more than 200 , the excess will have to go elsewhere for a Visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymonddiaz Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 They are making a lot of money from that.... 200 people per day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post meinphuket Posted October 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2017 I would imagine that they prefer to deal with agents processing stacks of visa appications from both a monetary aspect, to avoid long queues and, often lengthy and argumental, procedures involving individual applicants. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxe1200 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Do not forget, the agents are being served first. You also can travel to Kota Bharu to renew your visa. For Kota Bharu I definitely recommend long trousers, nice shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More madness from the LoS! Not really, I assume that this is the limit the current staff can enter in the system (whatever system they have in place). In Phnom Penh we face similar problem, they can not finish all visa application within the day which are often between 400-600 on a daily basis, but I never understand of what prevents them to have some work around solutions... Or may be the Consul can not sign more than 200 per day, who knows Edited October 7, 2017 by visarunner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsamui Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Sigh - slick move by the consulate. This now means that every agent will be offering a backdoor service for an extra 4,000 baht, split 50-50 between the shysters at the consulate and the agents. Sheesh.

robsamui Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 And they've also reduced their opening time by 33%, to between 9:00 am and 11.00 am. 200 people in just 2 hours? That's one person in every 30 seconds . . . realistically that's probably just 100 applications a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, many of those will be "stacks of passports" from agents - not applicants physically in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrules Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 So they've decided they don't want to do their job properly and are advertising this fact. If I was in charge I would fire them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last come first serve?? Basically it means no one really has a shot of going on their own. Agents have guys that wait on lines early and take handoffs of stacks of visa applications so they will wind up taking the first ten people on line (agents) with 20 passports each and send everyone else home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the embassy can't keep the money, so they don't give a shit about it and having less employees means more work for the boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
