Tourist Visas????

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

I'm in the same situation: US passport, tourist visa, entered in March.
Has anyone considered Thailand's new "special tourist visa?"
From what I've read, it's a 90 day visa that can be extended twice.

Why the assumption that a tourist wouldn’t have savings at their disposal? Not everyone lives from hand to mouth.

Cool, so where are you staying? I am at a homestay in PP, BKK3, ive been at the same place since May, its a good value, i figure, has TV, AC, fridge etc, so why bother moving. i think next month i may hit the islands, then just stay out there until some other country opens up.

that was cancelled a week after it was started,
You can now get a regular tourist visa ( valid for 60 days)

How many out there have enough sayings to take them thru 8-10 months of no income?
bet not many unless there retired or independently wealthy

by my definition a tourist travels (average a 2-4 week vacation/year) during his time off from work.
so to be somewhere with no work.......
thats all i am saying, u all can make of it what you what...

I understand there are retired people ( usually on long stay visas)
digital nomads, trying to work the system where ever they are
Trust fund babies
etc etc

I'm not american but reading the requirements, you need to buy return airfare, quarantine hotel accommodation, travel insurance, then post all this plus your passport to Thailand with visa fee, hopefully to receive back a Visa, seems a bit risky to me what if you didn't get granted the visa?
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

Ah, the old "my friend in high places said so", so it must be true :wink: ....please enlighten us, what is this so-called "EZ" Visa your friend speaks of?
When it comes to visa's the only word I don't doubt is PSD-Kiwi's.

I suspect I am not alone...

There are plenty of people out there who graft hard and salt some of their earnings away, sure they might only take 2-4 weeks holiday a year, but probably because that’s all they are allowed, doesn’t mean they couldn’t afford to take more/longer holidays.
