Did you have previous Thai tourist visa in your passport when you applied there, or was it your first application? Apparently that can make a big difference in Phnom Penh.

One previous visa exempt and one extension. She had none 

Me and girlfriend applied at thai embassy in phnom penh for 2 Thailand tourist visas... Applied last Thursday and picked up Monday... I'd probably use an agent next time cuz not the friendliest place... Agents still say they can do it and we did it so it's possible.. Probably a must you have paporwork in order

They aren’t going to ask for proof of hotel bookings unless they believe you’re not ‘genuine tourists’ and are considering denying entry.

 

As long as you don’t have a recent history of staying months/years as a ‘tourist’ you should sail through immigration.

Thanks! 

OK thanks! 

American man with Cambodian girlfriend entering Thailand via air on 2 tourist visas. How many days motel booked with copies of motel reservations is enough to satisfy pickiest official at airport when showing 2 tourist visas ? 3 days reservation OK? Plan on looking around for longer term lodging  booking in person... Through tickets and 20000 baht each in hand

Having a bank account in her name with $1000 in it might very well be required. When I applied for a tourist visa in Phnom Penh, I had to supply a bank statement. I would imagine (but I don't know for sure) that the same rule applies to a local applicant - best to check with an agent.

Thanks! I've been hearing similar stories but guess I'll know for sure soon enough. We'll go regardless but it sure would be nice to stay a few months without her having to exit and come back....

Thank you!

She can get a thai visa in PP same as everyone else, use an agent $50 for 2 night service.  Valid for entry within 90 days for a 60 day stay, which can than be extended another 30 days for 1,900 baht.

 

Thing is, for Khmers they can ONLY get a Thai visa in Phnom Pehn.

Thanks for that! I've read some bad things regarding the embassy in phnom penh making any Cambodian woman show she has job, bank account, ect for tourist visa...it won't be a problem, we'll just do 2 weeks in Thailand then month in Vietnam a few times back and forth worse case scenario.... We've been living in siem reap but looking for cooler climate ( chiang mai dalat Vietnam) and maybe consistent electric as a bonus! 

Thanks for letting me be a member! I'm American passport holder. In Cambodia now. I want to visit Thailand and Vietnam  with Cambodia fiance (we have 9months to kill in asia and would like to do so in Thailand Vietnam) .... 1) I see she gets "free" 14 days Thailand and 30 Vietnam? . I understand she can apply for 60 day visa at phnom Penh but they are difficult to get? We would like to stay as long as convenient possible without exiting. She has no job or bank account( I've supported her 2 years) . She is older and has documents that she owns her own home free and clear 2) on going the free 14 day route will she have to show return ticket and anything else besides booking room and cash? WE will be going to Vietnam after Thailand so not sure exact return date.......3)how much grief recently officials give Cambodian travelers bouncing around using 14 days in Thailand and 30 days Vietnam, ect? Maybe we exit and return country every 14 or 30 days back and forth if we want to stay longer?   At the end of the day we tired of Cambodia and would like to visit Thailand and Vietnam for a longer stay until we migrate back to USA. We have no problem going back and forth but like to minimize travel if possible..... I have been to Thailand once 2 years ago for 60 days. She has never been there..... I understand current crackdown at immigration and will act/proper documents/not stay too long accordingly for USA passport holder. It's the Cambodian visa stuff/rules I'm confused with.... Thank you!      P. S. We not totally opposed to land travel but prefer to fly
