What are the details regarding the new e-Visa application system for Thailand at the Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh?

Paul *******

Yes from their Facebook page. Check it out. Nothing mentioned on their website yet but it's Thailand. Normally, most announcements of this type are more likely to be shared on Facebook first, with websites updated later.

Can I apply for a DTV visa in Laos with an expiring passport and specific financial requirements?

Paul *******

Ditto. I had an appointment for Laos for next week, but have canceled it and am going to Taipei instead. Otherwise, I'd need to wait until at least late November to go to Vientiane and there are also concerns about whether they require translated documents to be notarized, which further complicates matters.

What should I know about the delay of the Evisa system at the Jakarta Thai Embassy?

Paul *******

@Andi **********

The delay is probably only for a few weeks...I suspect they'll be on the e-visa system by end of October or November.

What should be included in a support letter for obtaining a DTV visa in Thailand?

Paul *******

Well, the company has to be real and they can presumably check that on various online databases based in the country the company is registered in. If it checks out, then the letter presented is likely to be legit too.

I was told by Vientiane the money needs to be banked for 3 months. Savannakhet is possibly 6 months; not quite sure. In any case, they're quite strict and best to use Taipei instead.

How long does it take to get a Thai visa at the Cambodian or Vietnamese embassy?

Paul *******

Really? Did they ask you to "grease the wheels" or did you offer it? Also, how would Chonburi officials know about that?

The 2 land border entries restriction has been lifted, so no need to worry about that anymore.

You're correct. However, HCMC is still relatively straightforward when it comes to applying. They're not too strict on the paperwork.

Cambodia is a good choice though. Get there quickly before they transition to the evisa. October 4th sounds like a good date.
