However, evidence of return/onward travel may be a visa requirement of the consulate/embassy where you apply for your visa.

Asking about immigration at the Thai airport when arriving with a SEV which had already been issued by the embassy

it is a well know fact that a return or onward ticket is not required to enter the country if you have a valid visa for entry. 

Was wondering when you would show up! ????

Yeah, i might have heard it. But i am yet to see any official citing which says so. If you know of any, could you throw one my way?

No.

 

Thanks Crossy. You wouldn't happen to have any source you could share of that being the case would you?

Can i enter?

US and Ireland is OK

Namibia, Egypt and China are listed.

Brazil OK but they get a 90 day visa exempt entry under a bilateral agreement so unless they have several of them already a tourist visa is not needed.

Thanks ubonjoe. Any idea about Phnom Penh?

Not all nationalities can apply for visas at Vientiane and at many other embassies and consulates. Some can only apply in their home country.

Vientiane's list is here. http://vientiane.thaiembassy.org/upload/pdf/RestrictedCountries2013.pdf

Wow thanks for that list. Got a Chinese in the group. Is that list up to date though? It says it's from 2013. I hear they don't update their website much and that you cant depend on the info there.

Does the Vientiane apply for all nationalities?

I hear they have enforced the proof of funds requirement for SETV. Savannakhet and KL being some of the places that do. Any info on Vientiane?

Also, would just bank balance suffice for does it have to be a statement for a certain period?

That's what I heard around the forums but why do you say that? I never tried because I heard bad things but I'm not sure why.

why do u  say this>   train to Hpa-an- than shared taxi to the border( Mae Sot)

Any agent in PP will be able to do 3 tourist visas and than no more

Call or write Lucky lucky motorcycles on Monivong in  PPand ask them before u head over

 

I suggest you write or call Banana GH in Penang (there on Chula street) and ask them if they can do it or not,  always found them very honest

So if they say they can. Will it mean they really can... and would?

Thanks for the input guys. Yeah LOTS of visas on my passport. That's why i'm a bit worried, and looking for a sure fire why of getting this done. Heard a lot of fail stories. The using an agent in Phnom sounds interesting to me. Do they guarantee it? How is that vs. doing it myself in Malaysia vs Laos?

Which embassy is easier to get a Thai tourist visa from? I hear the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh is notorious for denying visas, BUT really easy if you let the doorman or a travel agency handle it - any truth in that?

Laos i hear is "easier", but haven't heard of any doorman or agency expediting things in exchange for a little compensation for their troubles.

Malaysia i haven't heard anything about.

Honestly, i'm leaning towards Phnom Penh and use someones service, but i'm not sure how reliable it is. Anyone with experience?

So basically, with compensation in hand, looking for a guaranteed success doing this.

Any pointers?
