bust Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Thai construction news - Quantity Surveying Consultants Ltd Thailand THAILAND CONSTRUCTION NEWS - "TCN for short" - is a construction newsletter with a Thailand and Asian bias, written with a light-hearted irreverent style ... Frankly I would prefer to get it before arriving. I don't trust the junta. I think what you are referring to is obtaining your visa with a pre-approved letter which is possible. Just means you don't have the visa physically in your passport but it has been approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
