Has anyone had experience applying for a Thai E-Visa through the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh?
I submitted my documents and made the payment on 17 June, and the status has been showing “Pending Approval” since then. I haven’t received any updates, and I’m not sure how long the process usually takes.
Unfortunately, there’s no clear contact number, and I haven’t been able to reach them by email either.
If anyone has gone through this process and has advice on what I can do or how long it typically takes, I’d really appreciate your help. 🙏
What should I do, I entered on the 24th of December 2024 and 180 days would be 22nd of June, I ajve booked my flight for this day from bangkok back to my home country.
I have just noticed my passport is stamped to 21st June I'm guessing mistakenly. This is obviously today and I am debating overstaying a day as immigration is shut today and tomorrow and my flight is tomorrow. I have asked the airline about changing this but it is not possible.
What would peoples advice be would 1 day overstay due to a miscalculation of the days on the stamp, to be clear 180 days from entry including day of entry is 22nd of June, be a serious issue if so how?
Also what will happen if I try to board the flight while having the 1 day overstay
Ok so need a bit of advice from those in the know. I arrived in Thailand on a Non O visa on the 18/06 went to the local immigration office yesterday to get proof of where I am living ( to open bank account ) To get all things sorted for retirement extension. Hit a bit of a wall when the immigration officer said you can not ask for the retirement extension because in thai in the remarks line they had written business. The application was submitted via the London Embassy. Has anyone a) been in this situation, and what solutions did you find. The Officer said you need new Non O go to Laos and apply there.
My possible solution and happy to be shot down if this is a stupid thought is go to Laos return on a visa exempt stamp and convert that in country to a Non O and then take the retirement extension.
In a perfect world trying to get the authorities to reissue a copy of the original visa with that word removed.
I was told on last entry that next time I arrive I need a propper visa. But got a bit conflicting information, when I asked that my next trip will only be for 30 days before return to Norway. Then I was told no I don't need for this short trip.
I stay 60-90 days in vinter months, and 30 days in September/October.
I have 2 questions:
Will they give entry if you have appointments with visa agent in Thailand? Even just short time. As I'm not sure I can trust the statement that I can enter if only staying 30 days.
Second question: If refused entry, can I just book a flight to Philippines and stay there instead for the duration I had plan in Thailand? I really don't want to have to travel back to Norway just to book new trip.
I'd like to build a house. For REASONS I am interested in sending the money from USA to my wife here. How did that work? With large transfers does it get declared or flagged or? Is it taxed? What sort of rates? We know very little about taxes in Thailand- nobody in my wife's network has anyone ever had enough money to need to pay taxes.
