Hello,
I’ll be arriving in Thailand via a land border with Cambodia in a few days, as I’m traveling by bike. I was planning to renew my passport in Bangkok (Canadian citizen). My passport still has 6 months and 3 weeks validity. I was planning to spend around 6 weeks in Thailand before heading to Malaysia. Anyone knows if I could encounter any problems getting the 2 months entry stamp at the border?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice regarding potential issues with obtaining a 2-month entry stamp at the border when entering Thailand from Cambodia by bike. They mention they are a Canadian citizen with a passport validity of 6 months and 3 weeks. Comments suggest that they should not encounter problems if they do not have a complicated immigration history, as Thailand does not strictly enforce a 6-month rule on passport validity for entry. However, the user will face restrictions traveling to nearby countries until they receive their new passport, which typically takes about 5 weeks.
