Easy come,
easy stay, easy go. Getting your visa to Cambodia usually only take a photo, a few minutes and not too many dollars (or Thai Baht). And Koh Kong happens to be the best and easiest place to get your visa.
Welcome to Cambodia
we hope you enjoy your stay.
Coming across from the Thai Border Cambodia offers most countries citizens a visa on arrival to the country. Most common are tourist and business visas. These cost between $25 and $35 dollars and are generally valid for 30 days. You're also required to have 1 passport sized photo. Usaully they demand 1,000 Baht ($30 U.S.) Thai money for a tourist visa and more for a business visa. Quite often, the border guards or a "Doctor" require some certification of not having some disease, like pig flu or yellow fever. Since nobody has one, they'll accept a small contribution of 2 or 3 dollars (or more?) to provide you with one. Welcome to Cambodia. If there's not many people coming across when you are crossing the border, both the Thai and Cambodian sides of the border only take a few minutes each. If there's many people, like when a bus comes to the border, it can take an hour or more on each side. A vehicle registered in Thailand can be brought across the border only if you have the vehicle registered in your name. It's very problematic now, and if you have Thai license plates, you might want to think twice about bringing a vehicle over the border. Charges, which should be free, are generally 100 Thai Baht per day. You can also leave a vehicle parked on the Thai side of the border for 200 Baht per day. Current exchange rates: $1 U.S. = 30 Thai Baht ......... $1 U.S. = 4,100 Cambodian Reil |
