Kl Visa Run Update

[bri9646]

Sitting in the KL LCC Terminal waiting for my flight back to Bangkok and thought I'd share my experience with the KL Thai embassy with you. FWIW..I hate AirAsia and will not travel with them again...what a hassle...but nice planes and crew...

Dropped off the paperwork for my B and my wife's O visa yesterday 18 Feb. We arrived at the gate about 0910 and was done with no problems about 1 hour later. We picked up our passports and new visas at 1115 today the 19th. All this was done with little fuss and no problems. The staff was courteous and even thanked us for coming!

Some tips...

Arrive a little before 0900 to drop off and the line does start a bit early.

Bring a pen. We did and loaned both out...never to see them again.

If needed you can make copys across the street at a hotel for a small charge.

When picking up the offical time is 1130 but the nice lady that handled our paperwork said to come at 1100 as they usually pass them out starting about 1115. She was right.

They did not ask for a WP-3 but did ask me about my work permit as I'm starting anew here I told her I did not have a work permit as I needed my B visa first. This seemed to satisfy her request....it did not in Penang the last time I was thru there!

For a Thai embassy it was a very pleasant and easy experience.

Hope this helps somebody!

I myself have been impressed with the efficiency at KL Thai embassy!

Probably the better option over Penang at the moment!
