Yeah we did, I even applied for it but got nothing but hassle! So opted to keep on travelling on my 5 year visa. These days though the ques are getting really silly! Espically for the evening arrivals. Took me close to two hrs last month when i came via JAL.

Landed via LH yesterday morning and was out of the airport within 10 mins of landing. ^ ^ Love the morning arrivals and departures. The airport is just so much more peacefull.

But next week i land at 11pm on my birthday and I really don't think I will get out of the airport till at least 45mins into my new year.

Hopefully the process from the PIO card will be a easier here? Will keep you updated.
