i dont give a single sh.t personally. But it’s literally stated during the application process, and you literally sign/declared that you are physically located in the country you are applying from. Its also well known, and quite universal for for most countries/embassies for most

countries.

Applying online is no different than applying in person. Otherwise we would all be doing Evisa from thailand and just border bounce to activate it. But we don’t as the consequences of getting caught is quite severe.

So yes you even declared/signed that you were physically in your home country while applying. That is fraud.

Likely you wont get caught, but if immigration notice in the dates in your passport stamps that you were actually in Thailand when applying trough US embassy; you would be facing deportation and blacklisting.

Its your own responsibility so obviously they wouldn’t bother to verify your IP location as VPN are common anyway.

lol “I actually applied for it while in Thailand” We did read, and thats the part that is 100% illegal 😉

You cant exit by car with a rental car though. Laos is also easier by land; just park, walk trough, walk back. No need to stay over like sometime required with Malaysia.

I usually fly to Ubon and drive to Chong Mek.

Yeah I was sitting up all night eagerly waiting for your update on how you committed fraud and then post about it on a public forum 😂

@Bennito ********

nice guy you must be eh? Next time maybe refrain from arrogant sarcasm to legitimate questions….

@Bob ********

indeed, I thought that was fairly obvious. Just posted the link for information of what it is. Indeed each country has their own procedure

@Bennito ********

ever heard of a IDP😉 He can drive with his Spanish license, just need to get a IDP which is extremely easy and cheap to obtain…

You go and get a IDP, then yes. So your Spanish license + IDP lets you drive for the first 3 months of your stay.

Yes. I think that’s standard at most EU embassies. At least when I applied last October it was 75 for SETV and 175 for METV.

Brandon Thurkettle I thought so as well, but I see now the SETV here in NL is 75 euro. But doesn’t matter, still worth the convenience of avoiding wasting a day to get the extension while on holiday.

Last time I used METV, easy to apply, approved in two days. And super convenient when in Thailand. (I spent 6 months)

I will definitely be getting proper visa next time as well, unless I know the trip will be under 30 days.
