Yes , Cambodians with passport can get 7 day extension and pay thb1900.-.
Overstay is thb500.-/day.
They can do a regular visa run, every 14days, but , as they no need Cambodia visa, pay only transport n service fee. Should be around thb700.- if go with a company.

Thanks for that.

I did think about taking her to the border myself (not minibus) to get 14 days, but the fuel and time/stress of the trip etc make 1900 Baht a more attractive option.
I only need another 7 days, so taking one out to get it doesn't make much sense to me.

7 x 500 Baht overstay would still be a better option than taking a day out, but I don't want to risk causing her any problems and 1900 Baht is the better option on that score too.

Now to find out if you're right. Posted Image

Normal visa exempt entry for Cambodian visiting Thailand is 14 days. Not sure how they enforce the proof of onward travel requirement.

For a longer stay a tourist visa is advisable.

Is there any option to extend the 14 days, such as the option for other Visa Exemptees to extend by 7 days by paying 1900 Baht?

Do you know how they deal with overstay eg. is it 500 Baht per day as with other overstayers.

Re' your point about onward travel, my Khmer friend just came into BKK on a one way ticket and apparently they didn't ask any Qs.

With 400,000 in the bank in Thailand you cna get a 1 year extenson of stay from immigration, without the need to leave the country every 90 days.

Mario is absolutely right here. SO where is the reason to leave the country and making your Visa in KL or Singapore when with 400k on your account in Thailand (or and proofed 60k income a month) you can make it IN Thailand?

The answer the OP gave was that he was never sure of timing as he works off shore.

I wonder if he knows that you can apply any time during the life of your existing Visa (AFAIK) and the 12 months Extension of Stay runs consecutive to the previous Visa.

The relevance of the 30 days is either the 30 days Visa they give to allow them to check that the marriage is 'real' or 30 days from flying in on Visa Waiver.
Confusing.

90 days is for tourists only. you are not a tourist anymore if you..........................

Sorry but your information and interpretations of regulations are too vague for me.
Relying on whether you are a Tourist or a Resident on the basis of 200 Baht RCs, which are even being issued to Tourists on 30 day Visa Waiver lately (rightly or wrongly) just seems ridiculous to me.

The downside of unnecessarily obtaining an IDP for a year is wasting about 250 Baht.

The downside of finding out later that you should have had one, apart from routine roadside hassle, is potentially to find that you are driving illegally and uninsured. If that were to be in a serious accident situation it could be disastrous.

Until I see some sort of formal clarification of what you are suggesting I'll stick with what I think I know and the advice of those who appear to know more and have taken more time to find out the legal situation and understand it..

Thanks anyway.

keep on trusting UK IDP sellers, I am sure their info is accurate, for UK

You are highly selective about which points you're willing to defend.

At least the AA only asks £5 for one, which is pretty low cost peace of mind.

Those advertising in your favourite place are the rip-off merchants at $39.99 plus $35 postage and possibly misleading options on the period of validity in one country?
