May 24, 200718 yr OK, I'm now the proud owner of a shiny new multi entry non-o (visit spouse) visa from Delhi. Advantages. Quiet visa application centre in the heart of New Delhi, 10 minute walk from a subway stop. Submit application 8-10AM, pick up visa next day 12-4 PM (you CAN submit in the afternoon, but then pickup is not next day) No financial requirement. Just copies of marriage cert, Wifeys ID, house book and passport Helpful staff - it's outsourced to VFS the same shower used by the British Embassy in BKK but a totally different experience. Amazing city to visit Disadvantages Most of us need a visa to visit India 4 hour flight Costs 6706 Rupees (5519 Baht) including 400 Rupees for the 'processing charge' and 56 Rupees for the bank draft. Delhi is a shithole Visa is overstamped "family visit, not for employment" but similar stamps have been ignored by the employment chaps in the past. "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

May 24, 200718 yr Author nice one. They have a subway in Delhi? Yep, it's actually why I'm here, doing initial design work for an extension line to the new airport terminal. "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"
May 24, 200718 yr I am really happy to learn about this.To have an alternative to get my multiple somewhere else ,cause need to visit a totally different environment.India suits I guess,getting to my homeland or malaysia starts to get boring. How much you pay for a return BKK to delhi? Or is there another alternative like a consulate or something,thinking about Calcutta?Cause i think there is more sightseeing which is interesting.Maybe I like it over there (which i doubt)and visit it more often ,but a small holiday is not bad ,next year maybe.Thanks for the info OP,nice to read your story!
May 24, 200718 yr Author Do they give Non-B visa in same easy way? Sorry, don't know, they do however answer emails, have a look here for contact details http://www.vfs-thailand.co.in/ "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

There's another visa centre in Chennai (dunno about Kalcatta) but no idea what it's like. Company paid for (business class) flights as I happen to be working here at the moment, but Jet Airways fly direct BKK - DEL at sensible cost, check out their website "I don't want to know why you can't.
