Thailand - Cambodia Visas

[lojoelol]

Hi ya

i'm an Indian national, 29 years old.

I can get the 14 days visa on arrival at Bangkok airport. Then I plan to be around there in southern islands and then I plan to cross over to Cambodia by road.

I understand that u can get the cambodian visa at the border post. So if i fly in to bangkok can i exit after 14 days to cambodia by land? is there any problems?

And after travelling around cambodia for a 1 -2 weeks can i get back to the border post by land and get another 14 days visa on arrival from the thai border checkpoint in the thai - cambodia border? And then i fly out of bangkok after a couple of days more.

Cheers

^ I don't think he can mate! I've tried to send Indians to Cambodia for an in and out stamp and I've been informed they CANNOT get a Visa on the border!

Before you do it definitely check with the Cambodian Embassy, I think they'll tell you the same as I've just done!

Huski .......Ken is correct...........you/ll see from the above extract from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website there is no border crossing with Cambodia that can issue the visa on arrival..........To the original poster you have 2 choices either after visiting Cambodia fly back into Bangkok from Phnom Phen to obtain the visa on arrival............or obtain a double entry tourist visa from the Thai Embassy in India before you leave, in which case you will be able to come back to Thailand overland from Cambodia.

Yeah I feel for the Indians. A lot of the ones I've known have had to fly back to India repeatedly to get Visas! It's a real nightmare for them!

Also is it easy for Indians to get a Cambodian Visa?

[astral]

There is not a lot posted on the Web about the Cambodian side.

If anyone finds a good web site with Visa info please PM me or post the url in the Forum

Might be a good idea to give them a call and see about getting the Cambodian visa in place before leaving as well.
