What are you trying to say? While each country is different, my point is for Cambodia, the e-visa (if you're using one) MUST be printed. They need one copy on arrival and a second one upon departure. Printing services are usually available at the border; sometimes you pay, sometimes it's free.

For Thailand, I can't advise specifically, as I have never held an e-visa. My DTV is a sticker.

However, several people have reported they were able to show their visas on their phone. I would advise against this, especially at airports, as this may cause airlines to assume you haven't got a visa and thus ask for an onward or return (round-trip) plane ticket to get on the aircraft.

At land borders, they may be more flexible, but at more remote land borders, Thai officials may also want you to have the e-visa printed.

Note that this contrasts with Japan - their e-visa system does not recognize printed copies of the e-visa. You must have an internet connection to show proof that the e-visa is in the system.

Exactly. For me, I live with my family so if I were asked for proof of address, it would be my wife's tabien ban. Or the address on the back of my Thai driver's license (which is the same).

The only reason you are asking this is because for some strange reason, America doesn't consider short trips to Mexico and Canada as having properly exited the country for the purposes of re-entry to the USA later. Thus, if you have a 90 or 180 day visa free stay permit, it won't be reset after a trip to Mexico or Canada, as strange as that sounds.

For almost every other country in the world, once you exit that country and come back in, the clock is reset.

Of course in the case of the Schengen region, you have to exit the zone in order to reset the clock...though there's a 90 day within 180 day limit for non-Schengen nationals on tourist and short term visas.

My wife got her multiple entry 5 year Schengen visa the same day she applied. Her Australian visa she received within a few days as well and is now valid for 3 years.

Try explaining to a Cambodian immigration official (or a Thai one depending on the border) that the reason you didn't print your e-visa is because you're an environmentalist. They'll laugh at you and demand you print out your e-visa nearby and then they'll stamp you in. No exceptions. In the case of Cambodia, I experienced this recently both on entry and exit. I couldn't print out my e visa as it was only sent 40 minutes before I made it to the border.

Yes, it's not proper British English, you got that right. It's slang.

A shortened version of "isn't it"? Any native English speaker should be able to figure that one out though, you don't have to be British to know it. I'm not British, yet I have zero issues understanding it.

It's easy for me, but most Americans can't wrap their heads around the metric system and vice versa for non-Americans (except the British, who still partly use the old system).
