Hello! Would I be able to travel via bus / cross border at night? Say I travel from Siem Reap to BKK at 8pm, will I be able to cross the border then?

In reply to jo peppi. Hi Jo, You need to get a business visa from the Cambodian Embassy. There is no business visa on arrival only tourist.

In reply to Mary Charie. Thanks for your reply, my follow up question is, my husband will accompany me to travel because he is working here in Thailand. I only applied for tourist visa and it will expire nextweek and i wanted to extend my stay here, thats why i need to exit through land border. He has complete documents though, what do u mean by exit ticket? Airfare ticket?

In reply to Mei Vallecruz. Hi Mei, There shouldn't be any fee. However, land border allows you to enter Thailand twice a year only and there is a chance that they will ask you to show a bank statement, exit ticket, and hotel confirmation.

Hello Mary,
I was planning to exit Thai-Cambodia boarder, and then go back to Thailand. I was a Philippine passport holder. I think magkababayan tayo. Hehe. Just kidding. My question is do i need to pay a $30 or 1200 baht for VOA in cambodia immigration to stamp my passport?

In reply to Sorakann Ki.

Hi Sorakann,

Many travellers actually have done it and have not experienced any problem. I personally have not tried it for Cambodia but have done many times in Vietnam. I’m pretty sure it’s not a problem. I think the best is to ask one of the Facebook groups about backpacking in Southeast Asia if you are unsure or Cambodia expat groups. You can try Cambodia subreddit as well.

Sorry, I’m not much of a help but let me know if you have more questions.

Hello Mary,

I have the swiss pass and I would like to stay more than 2 months in Cambodia.

I arrived in Phnom Phen on the September 27th 2018 by plane.
I got a tourism visa (valid for 1 month) and I’m extending it already for 1 month more.
Thus I will have the right to stay in Cambodia until the November 27th 2018.

Do you think it is possible to get a NEW tourism VISA for Cambodia on September 27th (or 28th) if I cross the terrestrial border in the direction of Thailand and come back to Cambodia?

Tell me if my explanation is not accurate enough.
