Hi fellows 👋🏾

My question is about visa run. I know most of the people do it from laos but I would like to do it from singapure, cause I have a cousin living there and missed him a lot! 💙 do you know if it's easy to get thai visa in singapure? Or is it risky?

Many thanks 🙏🏾

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the process of obtaining a Thai visa in Singapore, particularly for visa runs, which typically involve traveling to another country to renew a visa. Users suggest that, with proper documentation and pre-booking, it is possible to secure a tourist visa from the Thai Embassy in Singapore. However, there are specific requirements, including proof of adequate finances (e.g., having $1000 in cash), and users advise to use the online application process. Concerns about the necessity for fully paid return tickets are also brought up, with some suggesting that ticket reservations might be acceptable.

For onward travel - I use bus ticket $20 to Phnom Pehn. You can buy online - if you decided not to go - no big deal.

you have to submit the documentation online. Try it and if it won't work they'll tell you for sure

Singapore isn't a bad place to deal with, BUT you either meet their requirements and get a visa or you don't meet them and you don't get a visa. They are no nonsense.

I took non-B and ED visa from Singapore. You have to apply online by uploading necessary documents to the application. Check website and do that from home. All application has to be done online even trourist visa.

This is the finance requirement: 4. Evidence of adequate finance

Single-Entry Tourist Visa: $1000 per person and $2000 per family found on their web page:

Upload it. If unacceptable, the system tells you to what to do. I never get rejected or failed. Next day, I hear to come to the place physically with the uploaded documents. I submit and following day, I get the passport back.

If you provide them with all requirements and do the prebooking as they require you can get a tourist visa there.
