Hi everyone,

 

does anyone know if I can apply for a non immigrant type visa F (diplomatic) from Phom Penh ? I will soon receive the MFA authorisation and need to pick one embassy to apply to in one of Thailand neighboring countries. Was thinking Cambodia. No info provided on their website????. Or any other websites for that matter. 

 

Is there a better place to apply nearby Thailand?

The immigration website refers to the non-f as being for government duties.

If on a visa exempt or tourist visa entry you could apply at immigration.

The embassy in Kuala Lumpur does show it.

The consulate in Savannakhet Laos also mentions it.

You would have to contact the embassy in Phnom Penh about it.

You do not mention your nationality. That might be relevant in recommending a good embassy to use. For instance, in Kuala Lumpur, they really like nationals of some countries and are biased against those from certain other nations.

Thank you for that. I have finally managed to speak to someone in the Thai embassy in Cambodia. Apparently they do the F category. It takes 5 days and  USD 80. I will give it a try.

Italian passport. They mentioned Kuala Lumpur but would prefer Cambodia. Seems they do it there too.

Phnom Penh is slow, but should otherwise be fine.
