Immigration app
Re: Immigration app
Interesting, flying back again next week but won't get one of these as I always ensure I return on a valid multi-entry Visa Extension of Stay. Interested to see what this sticker looks like, any chance of you sending me a picture, don't worry I won't be sharing or checking your personal details, just for info when offering Immigration advice, if you'd rather not then that's all good

Download the app. Take a selfie with your phone. Upload it within the app when filling out your info.Newinkow wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2024 2:49 pmI'll be arriving at the end of October. I haven't downloaded the app yet, (maybe I should) but I'm aware that's the new process. I don't remember every having to supply a "passport-confirmed" photo every for the "custom declaration" from.Bongmab69 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2024 2:30 pm I used it yesterday for my arrival on 12th, it ask a lot of things, but found out the things without a red asterix are not compulsary. Also your profile foto doesnt need to be "passport-confirmed", i did mine just after waking up looking as a drunk crackhead but the foto was good for it. Strange thing happened when they asked arrival date, could only go 6 days ahead, not 7. I clicked on the 11th even i will arrive on 12th. And everything was good for it, curious the QR-code will dissapear on my phone when i arrive or not next week !!
I'm confused! What the story with this profile "passport-confirmed" photo?

I have a new passport so I had to make a new profile.
I tried several times to fill in the e-Arrival form and every time end up on the pay for e-Visa 36US.
There is no way to choose VOA, only different Visa types T, E, K, D.
The "trick" is to choose Visa K, then U can finish the registration.
I arrived yesterday 17/9.
New is also that I could pay with CC. No extra fee. Just 30US.
Almost immediately after I payed I got the passport back with just a small sticker with a QR-code.
No more FullPage VISA. No more stamps. Just a small sticker.
No more standing in line and wait for passport.
Very smooth!
Passport No: XX0000000
Date of Entry: 17 SEP 2024
Until: 16 OCT 2024
Visa Type: T
Entries: Single

Well, that's obviously wrong and they must have let your arrival form through on the presumption that you just made a dumb mistake.Joakim wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2024 12:34 pm The new update have a bug. (maybe more)

"VOA" is not a visa type: your application for visa, when made on-arrival is either for T(ourist), E, K, D type and so on. The "K" type is for e.g. Cambodian children born abroad. It is of course still possible that the app (no idea if you meant iOS, Android or the web app) is completely buggy!
But since, behind the scenes, the e-Arrival form is just that - a form submission - it is possible that you ended up actually submitting the same arrival form several times into their system, and there was nothing magic about the (invalid-) "K" type submission at all.
So if I understand that correctly, you used card payment at the immigration desk?

Re: Immigration app
I filled out my electronic form. I declared the goods I was bringing in, over $2,000. When I got to immigration at the airport, some guy in uniform said do you have your electronic form and I said yes and he directed me over to the immigration officers where they looked at my passport, not the form on my phone or anything, and then gave me a sticker for my passport (instead of a stamp) with a barcode on it. And then went over to customs and told him I had declared items and I wanted to pay and they told me to have a nice day. So I did.

Re: Immigration app
As mentioned I tried doing the visa before arrival in Cambodia via the website and through the app. Neither of these options was acceptable. You only have the option of paying with a credit card ($35 for a "business" visa) and then paying a $7 processing fee for a first time application, which is bascially a charge for doing their job for them. The option of paying by cash is only available by using the tablet on arrival. I found that easy enough but the old method of paper is still easier I reckon. As an observation I went to the driver licence people out at Aeon 2 to see about changing my licence over and the woman there hadn't heard of the ER - retirement visa so it seems that the government ministeries don't seem very good at passing on information across agencies. Oh dear.

In my experience so far, the Cambodians see a retirement visa in an American passport as a person never to be fucked with and they treat you accordingly. I dont know about others.

Re: Immigration app
Yeah, I'm sure they are hugely impressed by a visa extension. They'll be thrilled when you start flashing it around in Bangkok.
