Thailand Visa

I was just at the Thailand Embassy in Phnom Penh and I saw where there were several people that did not look very happy as they were not getting Thai Visa and i looked and someone that looked to be from Africa had it written on the apllication must go back to home country which seemed a little wierd.

I also recently flew from Laos Luang Prabang to Bangkok and was only givin 15 days on arrival so it really looks like Thailand is serious about totally screwing themselves by keeping alot of tourist like myself from staying any leangh of time Phillippines here I come.

In a crackdown on the 60-days tourist visas, several Royal Thai Embassies and Consulates has announced increased screening of tourist visa applicants. We also have several reports on the Thaivisa Forum that this practice already has been enforced by some Embassies and Consulates.

The joint announcement reads: "As there has been a number of visa applicants having entered Thailand via tourist visa and misused it to illegally seek employment during their stay and, upon its expiry, sought to re-apply their tourist visas at the Royal Thai Embassy or the Royal Thai Consulate in neighboring countries, requests for visa renewal by such applicants are subject to rejection as their applications are not based on tourism motive, but to continue their illegal employment, which is unlawful.
