Can anybody kindly advise if the chongchom border crossing is still operating to cross in and return back immediately ?

If so, what is the length of stay once Stamped by Thai officials 15 days or 30 days

Many Thanks

Yes it is open.

The number of days you get depends upon what country you are from. If from a G7 country (or one with a bilateral agreement) you will get 30 days otherwise it will be 15 days.

Expect to pay around 1,300/1,400 Baht for a visa run at Chong Chom.

Crossing is open from 6 am to 10 pm 7 days a week. And cost could go as high as 1500 baht. 1200 for Cambodian visa and 300 for u-turn.

Who is charging you the 300?

I have never paid anything but the visa for Cambodia at Chong Chom. Some of the Khmer have tried to get 200-300B for not staying 24hrs, but I have always told them no! They look at you and wait 1-2 minutes and then stamp your pass port. If you stand your ground you wont need to pay.

E Visa is $20, cant refuse you entry, suggest anyone purchase these befor going...just remember to keep them stapled in your PP

E-visas are not accepted at Chong Chom.

They can only be used at Poi Pet and Hat Lek. See: http://evisa.mfaic.gov.kh/

Evisa as stated not accepted and it is $28 including all the taxs'/ cc charge

I have NEVER in the past 4 years paid more than $20 for a 1 month visa there nor been asked to pay more,

but then i have 8 or so Cambodian stamps in my passport with a few extensions as well on an Ordinary visa

20% of those that enter Cambodia at Chong Chom get their visa for $20. The other 80% pay 1000 to 1200 baht. If doing a border hop they normally get stung another 300 baht for the U-turn.

I admit it is only a estimated guess but I do live in KC and inter react with those that are going across and with officials at Kap Choeng Immigration and Chong Chom Border Crossing. I'll take my numbers any day.

Hi. I'm struggling to find a categorical answer to a simple question so have ended up on a thread that is at least connected : When crossing at Land borders, are members of the G7 countries still being given a 30-day exemption, or are they back to the 15-day one ? Thanks in advance.

It is still 30 days for those from G7 countries.

I can confirm that I have seen him sitting outside M & D Coffee collecting number plates in his notepad........

Seriously, I would hesitate to doubt the numbers of kwaibah who is the authority on Kap Choeng/Chong Chom in view of how close he lives.

If I wanted any up to date info on either place, I would go to him first.
