ubonjoe Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 He would only be able to do two 30 day visa exempt entries per calendar year at a land border crossing. Getting single entry tourist visas would be another option. Not sure how many he could get at the embassy in Phnom Penh. How long does he plan on staying and how often?

DrJack54 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) As mentioned, if he stuck to border crossings and went to few different ones he could achieve what is required on VE. Add an ocassional weekend break to Saigon (UK can enter visa exempt) and obtain setv. Etc etc many options to mix it up, esp for amount of time your friend wants to visit los. He is a tourist. Oh just noticed your "month or more"... He can extend each VE and setv one time. Edited January 4, 2019 by DrJack54 Error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unless the 3rd one was done in a different calendar year than the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly wouldn't go back to UK just to obtain setv. He could obtain in pp or places like Saigon, Vientiane etc. If his situation ever changed and wished to visit los more often he could obtain METV but that would require being in uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
