Thank you! I have sent them a request on if I need to pay for the I-card again. I JUST paid for one in the beginning of August. We are still talking about that and it won't be solved till Monday when they open. So my costs may be lower.
I see they won't be missing out on those "express" fees. I'll be doing this visa on my next return either way. A step in the right direction. They could really simplify things if they offered 1, 3, 6 and 12 month tourist visas. I believe Cambodia currently does something similar to that.
