1. Make sure you have 2 copies of the transit visa application form on the official govt. website completely filled out
2. Make sure you have 2 passport photos
3. Make sure you have a copy of the transit itinerary.

I had forgotten to get a copy of the itinerary because I was going to just look it up on my phone, but when I got to RGN i remembered no cell data service. So I had a bit of a hard time providing the itinerary until I was finally able to get ahold of a SilkAir agent to get me one.

This was the only hassle I had, in general people are nice.

They were confused for a bit, but they certainly were able to process the visa at a cost of a CRISP US $20 note.

If you have the proper docs, its a breeze.

Hope that helps. I will be back again in a few weeks to RGN and will definitely make sure I have all the docs above this time.
Great! I think that yours is the first transit VOA report we've had. Glad that it was a positive experience.

When you checked in at BKK, or an earlier origination, what did the check-in agents ask for?
