Hey guys!
I’m a French girl living in Mexico, and i have to do a ED visa since I’ll be studying in Bkk starting January.
I thought that I could do the visa here in Mexico, but as I’m not a Mexican, i can not do it.
I already have my plan ticket to Thailand on December 11th, so I’ll do a visa exemption for 30 days. And since they told me to go to a limitrophe country to apply for the visa, and I’ll be around Koh Chang in late December, I plan to go to Cambodia for the visa.
I just have a few question for that visa trip because I can not stay that long in Cambodia and I would like it to be as smooth as it can be 😛 :
- How long will it take to receive the visa, once applied?
- What’s the procedure: should I apply online and then, they’ll give me an appointment? Or should I just fill some papers and then go straight to the Ambassy without appointment to give them everything?
- How much do I need in my bank account to prouve that I can survive in Thailand with my money? (In Mexico the amount is 600$)
- Do I need other useful information?
Thank you so much for your help!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A French girl in Mexico plans to apply for an ED visa to study in Bangkok starting in January. Unable to obtain the visa in Mexico, she intends to apply for it in Cambodia after entering Thailand on a 30-day visa exemption. Key concerns include the application process at the consulate, expected wait time for the visa, required bank balance for living in Thailand, and any other necessary information for a smooth application.
