Thanks for the clarification. I emailed magadotravel.com and they confirmed they still do pre-approved visas ($70 ai/pick-up at airport). I think I read they had some problems in the past, so not sure if I'm going to go with them or try to secure one in Bangkok (which sounds like an all-day process--drop-off early and pick up afternoon) process, albeit cheaper.
Anyone had recent luck with magadotravel or another private (probably gov't connected somehow) travel company?
Edit: Also, does anyone have experience securing more than one (or several) single-entry tourist visas over several months. (Yes, I'm doing the ex-RGN "special" fare
). Will officials grant more than one without question? I'm going in June, then again in November. Others are going several times and are worried they might be denied visas. Thoughts?
