Política e segurança em Guiné-Bissau

Where is the best exchange rate in Bangkok?
The best exchange rate is always through an ATM. Banks use the official "interbank exchange rate" which is set by the foreign exchange market, so there's no mark-up or margin added. HOWEVER, you will pay transfer fees and other bank fees. Depending on your bank, those fees could be lower than the commissions and margins you'll pay through a money exchange. It's always best to ask your bank about their fees before you leave. You might even be able to negotiate a lower fee structure.

How can I check my visa status ?
It may be possible to check on your visa status with the consulate where you applied. However, many consulates do not offer this service, they're simply too busy processing all the visa applications. There'll will have been advice on the consular services website about how long it takes to process a visa application, this can be a few days to a few weeks, depending on which country you're from, check the notices on the consulate where you applied. It might be that you just have to wait. Patience is a virtue. Phil at the safety hub. 8 days ago
