Hi. Just wanted to sanity check my plans.

I have UK passport on ed visa (1 year) obtained at Vientiane. It ends on the 5th and my school has put in cancellation.

I want to stay for another 3-6 months and am hoping I will be ok on a couple of SETVs.

The plan is:

1. print off bank statement for consulate

2. book flights and return (3-4 days in Laos) + accom

3. leave on 4th

4. go from CM to Vientiane by plane

5. withdraw 20k baht for return

6. return by land crossing

7. get plane from udon thani to CM

8. ? report?

9. extend visa by 30 day when possible

Some questions:

1. does the above sound ok?

2. can I screenshot statements from my phone (don't have access to online banking on desktop or have any paper statements)

3. is it better to pull out money before leaving or when I'm in Vientiane?

4. should I go to a different consulate?

5. what do I report on return?

*note, I know I can get visa exempt entries but I have no interest in hopping in and out of the country every 60 days. I'd prefer to just extend a couple SETVs if I can.

So, I wanted to post my experience in getting an ed visa done in Phnom Penh.

I got to the Thai embassy before the doors opened on Tuesday ( 24th ) . I was one of the first people there and filled out my tourist visa pretty fast and submitted my application and other pertinent paperwork. ( the place really started to get busy about 9:30 ). I also submitted my bank information , which I do not think is required but I went ahead and did it.

I had to wait around about 45 mins to an hr for the consulate to review my application. I paid the fee and got a receipt to pick it up on Thursday at 3-4pm. Went in on thursday ( 26th ) and picked it up immediately.

So, it appears if all your ducks are in a row. Then Phnom Penh is not a bad place to get it done.

Cheers, and thks to the group for answers to questions, previously before I went.

Hello All.

I have been told that being able to book / walk into the embassy to apply for an in person appointment for the DTV is now no longer an option in most countries moving to a E-Visa system, which can have a 4 to 6 week turnaround, rather than the previous few day turn around.

Apparently, the Philippines and Taiwan are the only two countries that still have not made this change to the E-Visa system.

Has anyone had any experience applying for their DTV in the Philippines?

Also, does anyone know when the cutoff date will be for the Philippines to change to the e-visa system?

Good afternoon

I am currently travelling up to Suvanabumi to fly out tonight

I am on a 30 day extension.

Would I be correct in thinking I cannot use the e gates for departure as although the extension is stamped clearly enough there has been nothing electronically changed to the passport at the Hua Hin Blueport Immigration office ?

Many thanks
