re-entry visaCountry forums / South-East Asia Mainland / Cambodia | ||
Hi friends For my Laos-Cambodia trip, I was just going to get my visa upon arrival in Siem Reap. I think its around US$25. Then I am flying to LP, Laos and will get my visa there. I think its around US$30. But then I am overlanding thru Laos and re-entering Cambodia and on to Phnom Penh and the coast. Is there anything I need to know about the re-entry? Someone in the forum here said to ask to make sure. I plan to carry a few passport-sized photos with me. | ||
Ah, a bit of bad news. The visa fee for Cambodia is going up in just a few days (Oct. 1, 2014) to $30USD. Getting a VOA at SR is easy peasy, fill out a short form, hand over the fee in U$D (CASH) along with a visa photo and you're in. About the same for Laos, except that the fees vary by nationality, but most are around $30-$35USD. | 1 | |
Nothing different when you re enter Cambodia overland providing its a border crossing open to foreigners. Just watch out for tea money though if you cross in the weekend or late afternoon. | 2 | |
if overlanding south via pakse to stung trent, weekends & afternoons have nothing to do also, you can expect to sit at the border for a couple hours if traveling by bus. the fat man | 3 | |
There are no problems re-entering, once you leave Cambodia to Laos the first time your visa will expire, when you re-enter you will simply have to get a new visa. it doesn't matter when you last exited, no problem. Good to have some photos with you. If going by bus over that border it is just as #3 describes it. | 4 | |
