How can I successfully obtain three consecutive SETV visas from Phnom Penh through an agent?

Or just a visa exempt entry, this way you go to whatever country u want, nice little vacation.

Or the Ed Visa if u want to learn thai, seem a good excuse to do so. If u ever fall in love and want to invest here it will help u a lot.

What about getting a METV in Perth or Melbourne? (only place you can do it appart from ur country of origin).

@Luke *******

Yes but u seem up to try impossible type of challenge.

Try Japan, u are my hero if u can do it there.

You are totally right about this one. Although I will say that proof of funds is the one that they care the most about. Went I got denied in april 2018 (before re-trying with agent), lady told me the bank statement is the one she care about and won't even take my passport to try without it. She didn't seem to care about address saying anyone can book a hotel for a week or wtv.

@Maxim **********

Good for you, I'd just never resort to marrying someone to stay here. But good luck to you Sir!

@Robert ***********

You know thai women and u know farang, let's just say that the second i'm ready I already know the answer.

@Steve ******

lol, u know what I meant, i'm 100% french, although probably not in my DNA.

@Maxim **********

Better hope she says "Oui" :-P

@Robert ***********

Wines is obv another story, i'm talking strictly foods.

Yes, I will run out of embassy, but not before I get married, so I will be ok :)

@Maxim **********

Keep bouncing around and soon you are going to run out of embassies, 555+

@Maxim **********

So you're 25% French?

@Steve ******

In case u didn't know 25% of Canada is french, lol.

@Robert ***********

Yeah well the *IF* in HKG and Singapore turn me off.

@Maxim **********

Hang on! I thought you were Canadian?

@Steve ******

I second Laos and VN for great French food and lovely wines, plus the people are much more polite and friendly compared to the native French!!!

@Steve ******

Hmm... I must have very bad taste then. I'm french so maybe we just have different taste?

@Kevin *********

hahaha!

@Maxim **********

"IF" applies to any Thai embassy ;-)

I.m out. To much bullshit

@Maxim **********

Laos and Vietnam are way better for French food than PP

@Luke *******

Very little you could say that would surprise me anymore.

@Robert ***********

*IF* is the key word.

@Maxim **********

I applied in HKG many times when I lived there, it was very easy, IF you meet the requirements.

@Luke *******

Can you beat 10+ time in Laos? :(

Robert A. Piccus I don't go where thai visa seem to hard to get :(

@Maxim **********

Amazing, shocking actually, you have never been to HKG...

Robert A. Piccus Yes Laos is close second imo, both french influence. I'm french canadian, tons of France influence where i'm from so i feel like home with the foods in both countries. But PP have more choice overall. I love Indian and Mexican food, outstanding in PP, not many choice In Laos.

Steve Greir I've been everywhere except Hong Kong and Singapore. Phnom Penh have imo the best farang food but also the worse local food in SEA. It's really hard for ex to find bread quality like the french one they have everywhere in PP.

On opposite Thailand have the best local food imo in SEA (Chiang Mai #1 in Thailand), but bad farang food overall due to the poor quality of bread and other which make the burger, pizza, sandwich, etc, overall, bad quality. Not to say that some place are not amazing, but i'm talking *in general*. The milk is also REALLY bad in Thailand.

Tbh I also think Vientiane have amazing farang food, again, french influence. But PP have more choice.

We are off topic but I feel like this thread is gonna be shut down any moment anyways.

@Maxim **********

, you sir are preaching to the choir... I am well aware that PP is a shit hole and I honestly prefer the French Food and Everything else in Luang Prabang and other cities in Laos, where I have been visiting for over 30 years! Thank you ^_^

Again now have good luck all to enter on a tourist visa. All changed here. So i am dumb. Enjoy all

@Maxim **********

If you think the "farang food" in PP is the best in SE Asia, then you obviously havent been to many countries in the region

@Maxim **********

Obviously

Steve Greir I guess not :)

@Maxim **********

do you understand the meaning of 'shouldnt have'?

@Steve ******

Well at least I remember what I said 40 min ago...

@Maxim **********

Probably best not to post your drunken chat in this group!

Steve Greir I'm refering to what u said above:

*It's not an opinion it's a fact. If you comply with the documentation required by the embassy/consulate where you're applying for your visa then you shouldnt have a problem.*

@Maxim **********

What? I never said you couldnt get denied. I think you must be confused now!

@Robert ***********

PP is a shithole, staying there too long will drive anyone crazy. The farang food there tho is the best in South East Asia (by far). French influence... no surprise.

@Steve ******

Not true, u can get denied in PP with the 3 proof of. I live in Cambodia april 2017 to april 2018, people told their experience all the time.

Luke Thomas Just say the truth you have crypto... I lost more then 100k usd in crypto this year, and i'm still breathing. You talk like a crypto trader, lol (or poker player), or both.

@Luke *******

Your fat bank balance won't help or break you, if u have 1k or 100k usd the odds of getting denied is exactly the same. They only care about how long u have been in Thailand, the 3 *proof of* (especially 1k bank balance of at least 1 month old), and to a certain extend visa run in a row in PP (3 usually the magic number).

You will lose nothing by trying, ask agent that u will pay him when he succeed, I told him I will throw extra $10 after if he succeed, still got denied and he was a reputable agent riverside.

@Kevin *********

Border will not denied you entry if u have a tourist visa, but they might denied you a visa exempt entry (especially Poipet). By air Don Mueang is a headache, even with tourist visa.

The difficulty in PP is to get the tourist visa, not to get back into Thailand (assuming u avoid Poipet and Don Mueang).

@Luke *******

It would suit you!

Maybe living in Phnom Pehn ^_^

@Luke *******

Clearly you're not even sure where you're going to be in the next year, 555...

@Steve ******

Or he simply loves chasing visas and visiting embassies.

@Luke *******

you are pretty young with plenty of growing and learning ahead ^_^

@Robert ***********

Yep, he seems pretty desperate

@Luke *******

That might get you a few more months...

@Luke *******

you're trying awful hard to remain here, hope you don't have to say Adios too soon!

@Luke *******

It's not an opinion it's a fact. If you comply with the documentation required by the embassy/consulate where you're applying for your visa then you shouldnt have a problem. Having a "heavier bank balance" wont make any difference. Savvy?

It sure beats the krap shoot on selecting the next embassy to try for your visa. ^_^

Ok, 555+

@Luke *******

, if you have such a fat bank balance, you should go with the Elite visa. Costs Bt. 270/day or less and the perks are fantastic....not to mention the peace of mind.

@Luke *******

Do and apply where and whatever you like, your " heavier bank balance" wont make any difference at an embassy/consulate

@Luke *******

You're living in the wrong city, belong in Las Vegas where reality is an illusion.

@Luke *******

It wont make any odds at an embassy/consulate

Luke Thomas Nope, your bank balance wont guarantee a visa, nor will it guarantee entry into the country

Have a nice night

Ok i.m wrong

Can be

Good luck him

@Kevin *********

than you should state facts and not hearsay

@Amornrat *********

yes but to the officer on the border decides and not Consul to entry

@Luke *******

no, nothing to do.The consul makes the final decision.

I.m not saying wrong stories. That happen to many people i heard. I live here 9 years to

My partner in Cambodia confirmed that Embassy voided a lot of visa, especially Cambodian who applied multiple times for Tourist. MOU are OK. If OP can, go another place. If you qualify and can show money apply in HCMC, Hanoi or Savannakhet.

Please do not spread wrong info, there is no such law or restriction.

I got denied earlier this year (april) with a agent in PP, but I didn't have the bank statement. Agent took a picture of me holding 2k usd in cash and when to embassy, next day he call saying he try but didn't work out. No scam here as it didn't cost me any $. That guy was a well known agent riverside, not any random newb. I don't know if it would have work with the bank statement, but I know that the agent mention my short overstay as a cause of denial. So maybe I was fuck anyways.

@Luke *******

The number of time u apply in a row in PP don't matter. I've live in Cambodia for a year (april 2017 to april 2018) and I spoke to a lot of foreigner in both PP and Kampot. And they all said the same thing about *hit or miss* in PP, even with all 3 *proof of*.

The most important factor is how long u have stay in Thailand for, not how many consecutive visa u try to do in a row. Although they go together... if u try 3 time in a row it mean u already stay in Thailand for long time. So it's 2 strike against you. If you stay long time but it's ur first time applying in Phnom Penh, u have better odds but it's still not great.

@Luke *******

no bother about reporting the post!

Tod, posts on here frequently about not to use PP if you have any visa history.

Only you can decide what you want to do though.

Luke Thomas as I said, I wouldn't rely on somebody elses say so.

I'm just reading a thread on another forum where people were turned away today at Ban Phu Nam Ron attempting an in and out to trigger the next 90 days of a multiple Non O on the basis of being married. Now being told that cannot do it at that border any longer.

Things change daily. As I said, you take your chances.

@Luke *******

reality is, as I said, apart from Vietiane, they have started to look at what your doing here. The last few weeks, there seems to be refusals from all over the place on the internet. You simply take your chance the more you do it.

@Luke *******

Leave enough time for a back-up plan if this idea goes south, don't want you to be rushing to avoid an overstay.

@Luke *******

if that's how your thinking, use an agent. Let me tell you though, that doesn't work in Penang anymore.

Understand Luke, but as Ron stated....what happens to others has little bearing on our particular situation. Good luck!

@Luke *******

it makes no difference who does or doesn't get denied. If they think you've had enough, that's it. Just because somebody else gets one, it has no bearing on your application.

You should probably be asking this question to an agent :-)

If you know the answers then why bother posting if your going to be denied or not? If you think its safe to use an agent, then use an agent.

It's not hard to work out, that apart from Vientiane ( At the moment) the majority of Embassys and consulates in the region, are denying more and more people using back to back Tourist visas to stay here.

They won't give you a visa without the *proof of* (bank statement only). I try without bank statement with and without agent, got denied twice, even with a tons of $ in my wallet. The other 2 proof of they are less strict.

Sorry I can't be of any help (pp scares the hell out of me :) ). But please update after you try. As I'm sure you will.

Didn't someone post earlier that he was denied while having all 3 *proof of*?
