Davthefrog Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I can't make a new covid-60 extension again (because of my non-ED visa), so I've the idea to fly out to Combodia and be back after few days. The idea is : -Getting a Cambodia tourist visa in Bkk. It seems not complicated to get one at the embassy. -Flying to Cambodia - Phnom Penh (No quarantine bc I'm vaccinated). -Flying back to Bkk after 3/4 days with this new test/go Maybe coming back with the exempt visa or getting a tourist thai evisa before flying to Cambodia. Does anyone did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 You can apply for a visa for Cambodia online. See: https://www.evisa.gov.kh/ No quarantine when if fully vaccinated. You might want to apply for a tourist visa at the embassy in Phnom Penh that would allow a total stay of 90 days with the 30 day extension of the 60 day entry from it. They are not using the e visa site for applications. Info for a tourist visa is here. https://phnompenh.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/tourist-visa-tr?page=5d73b14415e39c46f40076a1&menu=5d73b14415e39c46f40076a2 A report of doing it is here. https://aseannow.com/topic/1250875-visa-run-to-cambodia/ He applied for a non-o visa at the embassy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get the electronic version, which would save you a trip to the embassy and a page in your passport. https://www.evisa.gov.kh/ Your plan sounds doable; ideally you'd apply for the Thailand Pass before leaving Thailand. There's an obvious risk though, you could test positive at some point. Many tests, many chances, considering that Omicron is now on the rampage in both countries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the jungle Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 From the guidance of the Thai Embassy, Phnom Penh that ubonjoe posted a link to: "Nationals of certain countries are required to apply for a visa only at the Thai Embassy or Consulate-General in their home/residence country, or at the designated Thai Embassy. Therefore, travelers are advised to contact the nearest Thai Embassy or Consulate-General to find out where they may apply for a visa to Thailand before departure." It may be prudent to ask the Embassy about this point before you spend time and money on your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Meeseeks Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 The Thai Embassy in PP is notorious for not giving visas for Westerners and has been like that for many years now. The Ambassador is a renowned xenophobe in PP expat circles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(2,500 x4 months) Per 01 March the Covid Insurance requirements are changed into covering 20.000 $ (instead 50.000$) Thats means that the insurance will change the amount to pay for insurance In my opinion it will not change that much. For AA insurance you can look at de possibilities https://www.aainsure.net/travel-to-thailand-covid-insurance.html The requirements for entering Thailand demands a Covid Insurance for the time you are in Thailand But several comments on this forum tells that a 30 day Covid Insurance will be accepted to obtain a Thailand Pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really makes no sense unless they want a contact number while in Cambodia. Perhaps try enter a phone number for a hotel. Are you sure they send a SMS since it does not state it has to be a mobile number. I suspect it is done by email. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
