aneliane Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hello All, I was going to do a visa run tomorrow to extend my tourist visa but just realised that Cambodia requires a FOUR months validity on your passport to get an entry visa and my passport has only THREE !! What can I do ? Thank you in advance for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 And Thailand even requires 6 months to enter. Seems you have to apply for a new passport and in the meantime maybe get an emergency passport. (You do not extend a tourist visa by doing a border run). You can get a new entry if you still have an entry left. Did you already get an extension of 30 days on your toruist visa? If not, go to an immirgaiton office with a passphoto and 1,900 baht and apply for an extension of stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think I can get another extension from the Immigration Bureau? I just called my embassy they are closed today Edited May 6, 2011 by aneliane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneliane Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Ok I got a one week extension at Chaeng Wattanna for 1900thb. It takes 10 days (from monday) to make a new passport. So I will be in overstaying situation, - and pay 500thb a day fine - for the 3 remaining days, until I get my passport then I will have to leave the country straight away. Since my double entry tourist visa will be expired by then .. I assume I will also lose my "second entry" visa possibility and have to go to an embassy to remake a band new tourist visa, is that correct? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Once the expiration date is passed the visa can not be used for entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goinghomesoon Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Make sure you call your embassy and check the progress on your passport. I know with mine the worldwide standard is 10 days but they are often ready sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
