Locoloco Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) 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 Edited May 10, 2019 by Locoloco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 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.

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 She could apply for a tourist visa while in Vietnam at the embassy in Hanoi or the consulate in Ho Chi Minh City. Cambodians can get visas there.

Power cut could last up to 24 hours …. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldera Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....
