Are same day visas still available for Thailand from Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, or Vietnam?
Just went trough the entire Photo and File section, tried search but can't find it.
From what I remember, I saw an official notice saying that same day visas are not possible to get anymore in Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia or Vietnam.
Is that correct? And if so, any link to a picture or document?
Thanks for your help

I've read this overnight policy is related to Thailand'a response to host countries, where the Thai Embassy/Consular services were located, feeling a bit left out of the money stream... No overnight stays means no money spent on lodgings, less on in country, transportation, less spent on food, souvineers, general goods, etc.

I have a friend who loves to go to Vientiane - French culture and all... But few want to spend money in Laos, Malaysia, Vietnam or anywhere else

Would you by choice? Let's be honest, the best thing to come out of Laos is the bridge at Nong Khai 😂

@J**
, there is no consulate in S/E Asia that officially offers same day service. There are agents in Phnom Penh and other places that can 'bend' the timeline for a price. The people I know who've gotten visas in PP and had them issued faster used Lucky Lucky Motorcycles Shop.Joe ******
OPI WILL find that b****dy document :-)
I know a memo about that was posted some time back in time, LOL

Apply day 1, pick up day 2. It is on almost all websites of the Embassies and Consulates.

@Jim ******
I'm living in Thailand as a nomad which means: "a member of a people having no permanent abode, and who travel from place to place to find fresh pasture for their livestock", I have no livestock but a laptop so Im digital I can work where ever I want.Ron *******
@Jim ******

@Ron ******
One cannot work on a Tourist Visa. Got it?Ron *******
It's difficult for most to get a day off from work here to get a Tourist visa and no funds to afford an overnight stay.
Joe ******
OPNow that would seriously affect their chakra :-)
Robert *******
I assume your customers are all holiday makers and world travelers with lots of time, but no time enough to spend two or three days in a nice country to organize a visa back to Thailand.
Joe ******
OPTrust me, I'd love to smack some yogis bottoms :-)
Robert *******
Just tell them: Go Phnom Phen Thai Embassy, tell he staff you want it back same day or even better within 15 minutes, don't want to waste time there and they maybe do it for you if you smile. Pay know the tour and NO money back if the staff did not do it for you.
Joe ******
OPSo that what I try to find, either a picture or a document
Robert *******
Customers are a pain in the ass, all they can shout is: I want, I want. I want, if they were children i would kick their ass.
Joe ******
OPOn Phnom Phens Embassy website it said, minimum 48 hours but they insist, Agents can have it done on the same day
Joe ******
OPI am aware of that but some of my customers insist it's possible to get express visa in Phnom Phen. But I'm sure, I saw somewhere a memo where it said, all embassies have to do 1 day in , next working day collecting.
That's what I tried to find
