I have no problem with my visa as I can renew it easily over here. I am commenting on all and I mean 100% of my friends that come over for up to 6months have great difficulty in obtaining a visa with this online system, a lot have giving up trying and are coming on a 30 day stamp, then 30day extension and then going to Vietnam for a change. This online system is a disaster imo.
A friend of mine went to Hull consulate for the 60 day tourist visa as he has done for 20years +and was totally unprepared for the conditions required now, so he walked away. He will now come on a 30day exempt stamp and then extend for another 30 day stay. So if you only need to stay 60days that is the best option.
This is Just what I expected, I certainly won't be applying for any visa for Thailand in the UK, if I decide to come back to Thailand it will be on a 30 day exempt stamp. Sad really as I have a house,car moto bike etc, up for sale now. Time to move on I'm afraid.
Not the best border to enter Cambodia as they will ask for 1500 bht or $40 for the $30 visa + the 20bht health check scam, good job you intend to stay a few days there as you would also be asked by the Cambodian immigration for another 300+bht for a in- out turn around. Don't worry about being asked if you have 20,000 bht on you when you return as they never ask , Thai immigration are friendly at this border, speaking from 12 years of experience there.
