Hello.
Apologies if already posted - but have searched all afternoon - and although I see many use the e-Visa (those needing more than 30 days seem to benefit through easy reapplications) - no one has compared the processes.
I am travelling with Hubby to Cambodia soon, and we land at Siem Reap (How do you pronounce that by the way?) Airport. Just a week before we pass into Vietnam (Our passports are at the Vietnamese Embassy as I type).
We have always gone on the notion you can pay on the door at arrivals in Cambodia - with $20USD and a Passport photo is required.
Today we have discovered the E-Visa which is available to purchase online ($27US +$7 Handling fee +$3 credit card charge - so $30 and 2 x passport pics - from the official page.
My questions are -
1) Those that have paid $20 on arrival at Siem Reap - How long was the line at Immigration to process the Tourists Visa there and then? We'll have been on a long flight from the UK - tired, grumpy and sweaty and hungry - and we really don't want to be waiting for over an hour if the e-Visa gives you "fast track service" through immigration.
2) If you do go with the e-Visa - where does this "emailed e-Visa" get stuck in your passport? I "collect" stamps in my passport and love filling it up - so I was just wondering what stamps / notifications/ documents get stapled or printed into your passport? A trivial thing ... I know!
Thanks in advance for any replies. Ideally we just want to arrive and pay on the door like we have in other countries, as it's cheaper and more instant - but now we have this other option - it's all got more confusing.
