It's 400USD in the US, and in Cambodia

It's 340USD in Vietnam

In fact the ONLY two consulates in the world where you actually pay 10K baht are Vientiane and Savannakhet Lao 😮

@Fero *****

strangest thing I have ever heard 🙁 but glad you sorted it out

I'll close commenting

Doubtful you're on an ED VISA any longer and most likely you're on an "extension of stay" <- LOOK at the stamp in your passport you got from the immigration office and see if that's what it says

There's no issue going from an extension of stay (for any reason) to a DTV

You shouldn't have any problem applying online thru the thai consulate in Australia based on where you live while you have that ED extension in your passport, it won't affect your application at all

Have the correct documentation from the Muay Thai school that you can upload when you apply for the DTV and you will be good

you can use the log in you have on the eVisa system

You file an application on EACH person

You use your DTV as the support document to show why these applications should be approved (along with the birth certificate and marriage certificate)

@Abigail *********

they applied for a yearly extension based on raising a thai child and that along with a marriage extension usually gets a home visit during the under consideration period (totally normal thing to have happen)

I think we've taken this thread as far as we can constructively take it

There is no one on this group who can say with certainty how it will go for the O/P at the border when they go to stamp in.

All they can do is be prepared, and hope for the best (y)

We wish the O/P safe travels, we are done... ,,,

@Richard *******

it has to be what ever the immigration officer at passport control says it needs to be 😮

I have had reports of people standing at the stamp in counter be told by passport control that if they didn't show a ticket back to the country their passport is from within the days they would stamp in for they'd be denied entry.

Those people had to book flights back to their home country right then and there 😕

Now I will agree with you that at a land crossing it is highly unlikely IF a person is asked for onward travel that passport control would insist on return to country of origin

@Carys *********

I think you'll be fine.

Safe travels (y)

report back on how it goes at the border if you would

@Carys *********

it's not IF you live here or not, it's IF the officers at passport control think you do 😮 they are the gate keepers

BUT

with that proof of onward travel in 4 weeks you should be okay at the border IF you're questioned (y)

Right and if all you were doing was trying to get a NEW 60 day free entry stamp you should have contracted with a service in your area to take you to the border and back because they have it set up that you get out/back the same day without any issue

That's why services cost much more than you doing it yourself 😕

As I said all you can do is try to come back in, you're not fooling anyone at passport control, they will know at the border you only went to Cambodia to come back to thailand on a new free 60 day entry stamp.

Sincerely good luck with it, that is NOT too hard core of a border crossing, and you should get back in without much issue
