Cambodia🇰🇭 To Thailand🇹🇭 || Land border – Crossing into Cambodia Poipet Border – Immigration Process

Are you planning a trip to Cambodia? Do you need advice on visas? Look no further! In this video, we’ll discuss the best way to obtain a visa for Cambodia, especially if you’re crossing the border from Thailand to Cambodia through Poipet.

Firstly, we highly recommend getting an E-visa beforehand at www.evisa.gov.kh. This will save you from the stress and the “processing fees” charged on the land border. The e-Visa costs 35USD, which is 5USD more than the visa on arrival. However, the extra cost is worth it as it will save you time and hassle.

If you’re looking to cross the border smoothly, we suggest doing it by plane. There are no scams in Cambodian airports, and you can avoid any issues that may arise at the land border.

It’s important to note that if you choose to get a visa on arrival, you’ll have to pay additional fees, and the process can be quite lengthy. You may also encounter scams or fraudulent activities at the land border, so it’s best to avoid it if possible.

When applying for an E-visa, make sure to have all the necessary documents ready, including a passport-size photo and a valid passport with at least six months.

The welcoming party at the Cambodian Border (Poipet)
As soon as we got in, a government official gave us a form to fill in.
We filled the form and prepared a photo, our passports, and the 35USD each (just as it said in every textbook, travel site, and in the big sign above the office counter). As we tried to hand them to the border officials behind the counter, they refused to take them, pointing to a handwritten sheet of paper that said “35USD + 100THB”.

So there we were in front of border corrupt government officials, trying to extort some extra money from tourists crossing the border. Just exactly as every textbook, travel site, and Winslow warned us. Great…

A little intimidated Nuno and I (plus all the riled-up backpackers in the queue) refused to pay the processing fees, which only made the officials speak louder in Khmer and point extra hard to the “100THB” in the paper.
