aussiebob Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Taking the thai wife to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.Does she need a visa? Last year took her to Laos and it only cost her 20 baht. Iwas just reading a post on lonely planet and this person said their Thai friend had to pay 1200 baht for a visa at Poipet border. I didn't think thai nationals needed a visa?

VISA FREE TRAVEL FOR ASEANS Reported: Kong Issue: 9 August 2000 The Cambodian Government has unveiled visa-free travel arrangements with the following Asean countries: Brunei, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. Citizens from these countries can stay up to 14 days without needing to apply for a visa.

MiG16 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 ermm not sure if they call it a different name or not, but there IS a fee that even thai nationals (being an ASEAN member state) still has to pay. its either US$ 20 or 25..cant remember for sure. this was late september last year (2006) so I believe no change has taken place since. so yes she will have to pay...its one of those pay at arrival. there is also a departure tax...of similar amount no lonely planet guide, but personal experience (Im thai) cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_r Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Last February at Phnomh Penh airport, it was 20 USD on the way in for a visa on arrival, and 25 USD on the way out for the departure tax. The rule applied for Thais nationals as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
