You say you want to pack your stuff so I guess you we’re living there on tourism visa...

Your only chance at this point is to try to cross the land border... Laos Vientiane ... they will give you only 15 days if they accept to let you enter the country. If they don’t , you just walk back to Laos and try to find another way.

Make sure to have the 20.000 bahts cash on you plus onward flight ticket plus hotel reservation.

But remember that only the immigration officer you will see that day can decide if you can go in or not.

Nothing is sure.. specially with the VOID in your passport now.

Note that by land, if you are denied entry, you just walk back to Cambodia and eventually try to find another way in (maybe another visa type)...

By air, if you are denied entry, you might be put in detention cell until they put you on the next flight back to where you came from. Sometimes they even want to send you back home.. lol

1- From UK so you can apply for the non-o at an embassy (Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, etc..) for a 3 months visa. You will extend it to 1 year in thailand.

Problem is that each embassy got different requirements

2- It’s 90 days... note that you will have to do it separately...

The same kid can’t have 2 guardians.

3- As I said in question 1 each embassy got different requirements. In Cambodia I had to show my bank statements. Can’t remember the exact amount they asked... But I think it was 10k $US... after that (because I did it several times) , sometimes I had only 5k and it was ok.

5- I think the bank account name will be a problem.

As I said, 1 kid can have only 1 guardian so it will be treated as 2 separate requests ... so you will need the money seasoned in a bank account at YOUR name for the extension.

I did several 3 months back to back a couple of years ago... because I couldn’t meet the financial requirements for the 1 year extension (I can’t let sleep that much money).

But now it became harder... immigration officers don’t like it anymore.

6- and 7- That’s impossible to predict... it depends on the officer you see at the immigration.

But my advice would be to always have a B plan ...

I have been denied entry a couple of years ago at the airport and my kids were with the nanny in Bangkok...

It was like hell for me.

You can be sure that 2 parents en non-o with 2 kids in international schools can of course bring questions.

So my only advice is that you must be ready all the time.. just in case...

For example I prefer land borders... at least you can just go back , relax, and find a solution.

By sur you might end up in detention cell.

@Tod ********

ok... it’s clear now... thanks

Same answer if I decide to leave the 30th? Just trying to avoid going to the immigration again... lol

@Tod ********

thanks

@Ron ******

thanks.. not sure if that’s what the OP wanted to know.. but that’s what I wanted to know... lol

Please check again... I don’t think 1 kid can have 2 guardians.

David Broadfoot initially I had the 20k... but while in the airplane I decided to buy a small gift... I thought it wouldn’t be an issue.

I reached the immigration with 18k.

The thing is, they don’t really deny you entry “because “ you don’t have the 20k, but they use the fact that you don’t have them to justify that they deny you entry.

In my case, they found that I had “too many” tourism visas.

But they can’t legally block you for that.

So they try to find another reason.
