said, let us know what passport you're using so you can get a reliable answer.

I thought Tod Daniels was sacked? 🎅

ok. Well that must be a Belgian thing then because thousands of people get their tourist 60 day visa in Kuala Lumpur every year and they aren't permanent residents

@Cyrielle *********

you apply for the visa in the country you're in. If the embassy in the country uses the e-visa then you use that. If they don't then you attend in person. You don't have to be a citizen or permanent resident of that country. If you were trying to get the METV then that's when you need to be a resident or have pr. There are several reasons why you might have been denied.

You may need an onward ticket.

You don't get visa on arrival.

You can get the 60 day visa at an embassy other than your home country.

Yes you can enter visa exempt 30 days and extend for a further 30 days.

Ranong is not so friendly .... used to be so nice, not anymore. You will need to show 20,000thb, onward ticket and proof of accommodation. This is for everyone. Anything missing and they will direct you to use one of the agents hanging around.

just did Ranong. Not what it used to be. Very hostile. You will need 20k cash. You will need ticket out. You will need proof of accommodation.

It seems to be that immigration staff don't want to deal with you and push you in to the hands of agents ( people traffickers).

I turned up with the 3 proofs and they were very hostile to me.

@Graham *****

they want 400 for that. I'm to cheap for that
