Xa ndafika okokuqala eBangkok kwiinyanga ezimbini ezidlulileyo, ngokwenene bendingazi nokuba ndingahlala na ngaphezulu kwexesha eliqhelekileyo elivunyelweyo kwipaspoti yam yase-U.S.. Kodwa njengoko le dolophu yaqhubeka indibamba kwaye indixhasa ngexesha lokuphilisa okujulileyo ebomini bam, ndaziva ndifuna ukuhlala apha ixesha elide ndaqala uphando ngezinketho zee-visa kum nakumlingane wam. Emva kokuchitha ixesha elininzi ndifunda iireview kwaye ndikhangela kwiinkampani ezahlukeneyo, iThai Visa Center yaqhubeka iphuma phambili. Iireview zabo zazihlala zithemba kwaye zahlana noluhlobo loncedo nobungcali endandikukhangela, ngoko ndanquma ukunxibelelana nabo malunga ne-visa yokuthatha umhlalaphantsi kum. Ukususela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni, inkqubo yabonakala ihlelekile kakhulu kwaye ilawulwa kakuhle. Ewe, inkqubo ye-visa yokuthatha umhlalaphantsi ngokwayo yathatha usuku lonke, kodwa inyathelo ngalinye laqwalaselwa ngothando nangenkathalo. Bacentise uthutho, basithatha baya kuvula i-akhawunti yasebhanki, basikhokela kwi-ofisi ye-Immigration, kwaye baqhagamshela inkqubo ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka kuyo yonke imini. Kwakukho rhoqo umntu oncedayo, obhekelayo, okutolika, kwaye eqinisekisa ukuba izinto zihamba ngokuthe ngqo. Ndinguye umntu okhethekileyo kakhulu kwaye onengqiqo xa kuziwa iinkonzo, ngakumbi kwelinye ilizwe. Ndivuma ukuba ekuqaleni ndandaziqonda kancinci xa idiphozithi yathunyelwa egameni lomntu endaweni yokuba iye ngqo kwi-akhawunti yenkampani. Kodwa emva kokufunda iireview, ukuthemba inkqubo, kwaye emva kokunandipha inkonzo ngokwakho, nayiphi na inkxalabo yanyamalala ngokupheleleyo. Ukususela ngoko, sele ndisebenzise bona kwakhona ukunceda ukwandisa i-visa kaMatty ukusuka kwiintsuku ezingama-60 ukuya kwiintsuku ezingama-90, kwaye ndiyakubona ukuba siya kuqhubeka sibasebenzisa njengoko sifuna i-Destination Thailand Visa kuye nakuye. Ndikwafumene isatifikethi sokuhlala ngokusebenzisa bona ukuze ndithenge isithuthuthu. Into endamangalisa kakhulu yayisingeyiyo nje kuphela ukusebenza ngokufanelekileyo, kodwa nokuziva ukuba bayazi ngokwenene abakwenzayo kwaye banakekela ukukhokela abantu abavela kwamanye amazwe kule nkqubo enokubangela uxinzelelo nokudideka. Ndiyabulela ngentliziyo yonke ngenkxaso kwaye ndinokuncoma ngokupheleleyo iThai Visa Center kuye nawuphi na umntu ofuna iinkonzo ezinxulumene nee-visa okanye i-immigration eThailand.
