The Cambodian government has warned that they are getting many complaints of fraudulent internet sites claiming to sell e-visas and not delivering genuine e-visas or sometimes overcharging by 300% and more.  Even www.cambodiaimmigration.org was found to be fraudulent.   

The only official Government visa issuing site is  www.evisa.gov.kh

At the border/airport, $30 tourist VISA (extendable 1 month), $35 Ordinary VISA (extendable 1 year).

Why pay more for an online VISA, especially when it might be a con.

E-visas holders only get a normal stamp in their passport. Visas obtained at border/airport entries are a full page sticker which, if one frequently goes there can become a problem.  

If entering at the Ko Kong border from Trat it was advisable to get an e-visa in advice because IO overcharge for visas at that border. Not sure if that is still the case however.

For visits to Phnom Penh I will always get e-visas.

 

It is easy enough to access the correct website and it avoids a green sticker taking up a full page of your passport. I have always been quicker through immigration as well.

Do you know for certain that the E-Visa is accepted at Ko Kong?  I think there are some land border crossings where it is not valid.

Ko Kong has long seemed like it's own principality, operating under it's own rules.

You have obviously never been through and airport in Cambodia.

 

Having an evisa ($36) online saves a load of time at the airport. Also saves a page in the passport.

Might be useful for Cambodia border runs, a stamp rather than full page sticker has got to be a good thing.

 

Ban Pakkad border doesn't seem to be on the list

Here is the list of where the evisa is accepted.

Visa at Phnom Penh is rather fast

- desk 1 : give passport and form with photo

- desk 2 : pay

- desk 3 : get your passport

Maybe 5 minutes only at each of my 2 trips in 2017.

Doesn't save any time at Poipet, and the E- VISA isn't extendable (as far as I know you need the $35 ordinary VISA)

Luck of the draw maybe. When I was in Siem Reap airport we were on the 3rd aircraft to land in not more than 20 minutes. I was very glad I had an evisa.

I did say airport. I didn't need to extend as I was only on a short trip. Evisa made much more sense.
