Hi everyone, I am in a bit of tricky situation and I need some help. My visa was rejected today and I need to apply another one in cambodia. The problem is that my tourist visa for 1 month will expire at 13th so on my location indicator file, should I just insert my current tourist visa or wait until my tourist visa is extended. I am in a bit of hurry in timeline so I am lost here. Please help.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice after their visa application for Thailand was rejected. They have a tourist visa that expires soon and plan to apply for a new visa from Cambodia. Comments from the community suggest various options including extending the Cambodian tourist visa, considering travel to Laos for better odds on a new application, and potentially reapplying for a different visa category. The urgency of the situation due to the approaching expiration of the current visa adds to the complexity.

Extend your Cambodian visa! Another option is, cross into Thailand or another country come back to Cambodia with an E category visa, extend that for 6 months and then you'll have plenty of time to apply for your DTV without worrying about your Cambodian visa expiring.

If they've rejected you once, they'll reject you again. Go to Laos; it's cheap, it's not far from you, and you have a better chance

Why were you rejected?

Do you know why your application was rejected? Have a way to fix it for next application? If you are extending your Cambodian visa, would it be the same visa though, just an extension stamp?

@John ******
can I ask how do you know the reason of the cancellation ?
John *******
Anonymous participant 676 first off, a cancelation is different than a rejection. In the cancelation, some embassies supply the reason why in the notice, while others don’t.

@John ******
what is your understanding of cancelation and rejection ? What could be the different reasons ?
John *******
Anonymous participant 676 Cancellations are related to errors/mistakes in the online application (or applying from the wrong location) while rejections are related to embassy deciding you don’t meet the visa requirements.

Anonymer Teilnehmer you upload your location information in the location information section and the employment certificate in the employment certificate section… how hard can it be to read the website? lol… it is literaly just 4 documents and a few personal data to input. not science

Anonymous participant go start a dummy application and familiarize yourself with the sections and flow and whenever you are asked to upload

Anonymous participant I'd include a cover letter in my application saying this is my second application due to mistake in my passport expiry and please consider moving my application as fast as possible as my Cambodian visa will expire soon
