Hi All
Happy to report that by Thai FB of the last 4.5 years got his 3rd Irish Visa today!
Most old timers on the board will remember the saga of getting his first visa - which took 1.5 years to secure.
There is no Irish Embassy in Bkk - just a consulate, so the applications get forwarded to the Embassy in KL
His second visa application last year went far easier than the first application. And took just 1 week
This 3rd application took a little longer (1.5 weeks) and was nearly scuppered by the girl in BKK who was processing the application and insisted on originals of all paperwork (despite being told on 2 previous occasions that teh only orignals required was his passport)
But thankfully in the end it all worked out!
So this time 10 weeks he'll be back for another month or 2...
Thanks as always to a certain unnamed board member for his help with some of the paperwork!
