I am doing exactly that, I’ve decided against the 12 month extension and will border bounce into Vietnam, Hopefully IMO doesn’t give me any problems but I will be going with my Thai girlfriend. Hopefully, this helps?

I recently applied for this visa online from the London Embassy and yes you do have to show them proof of your finances. I uploaded recent bank statements showing that the funds are available. If you need help just PM and I can go through the application with you

What is the process for obtaining a 60-day visa to Thailand and how can I get help with my application in Liverpool?

Lester *********

Personally I would go on the flight and stay in Cambodia for a few days. Explore a beautiful country. Come back in and get a further 60 days. All depends on what you are looking for.

I’m on the Wirral but I’m in Thailand at the moment. Are you aware that you can enter Thailand on a 60 day exempt. No visa required
