Hi,last year used a travel company in Phuket and flew to Penang with Firefly.

Everything was organised and my accommodation Banana Boutique Resort agent took all documents to consulate.

I am due to go again in one month's time. Can agents still take the paperwork for you or do you have to go in person.

Thank you.

You can still use an agent.

Are you aware that they are wanting a lot of hours of study to get the visa now.

Yes I am aware of more hours and pay for private one to one lessons at school.I was informed by my school that they are allowed to set the hours each pupil must attend.

Hi guys , i plan to go Penang next week for ED visa. lets say i fly with firefly on 20 january . I will arrive around 4PM , i will have enough time to get everything done and fly back on 22 january at 2PM ? Concerning agent , i read different things like you need to go in person for ED visa but agent can pick it up. If somobdy have infos.... if i dont use agent i will be ok with this timing ? Thanks

I don't think you will be able to make a 2 pm flight. The earliest you could get your passport back is at 12 using an agent to expedite it. Normal pickup time is 2 to 4 pm.

i see , i guess i need 4 days with Firefly then... thanks very much for infos.

if i take the flight 19 january from Phuket i will go consulate on 20 morning to give ED papers. Lets say i use an agent , can i get it back on 21 at 12PM ? im not sure if ambassy need 1 or 2 days to proceed ED visas. In the case of 1 day , i have a fly available on 21 at 2.25PM .

If i get my passport around 12PM , do i have enough time to get my flight at 2.25 from Chulia street ? i have no idea how far aiport is.

I send emails to Banana and Jims place to know if i can get it back around 12. Doesnt get any answers yet.

Thanks
