Do I need to go through immigration in Cambodia if I have a same-day return flight to Thailand from there?
Anyone out there know the answer to this question ? If i book a return flight bkk to cambodia the same day ...will i have to go through immigration in cambodia ? Or can i just go straight to the transit gate my return flight is on...? My passports only got one page no room for a big stamp... the question applies to vietnam..as well ????
Answer summary
The question revolves around whether a traveler needs to go through immigration in Cambodia for a same-day return flight to Thailand. Responses indicate that airlines typically do not permit same-day flights for this route, and alternatives like flying to Malaysia are suggested. There are also discussions about managing passport space for stamps and the use of eVisas. Overall, the consensus is that immigration processes must be followed, and it is advisable to check with airlines or immigration authorities prior to travel.

I turn off commenting, OP agreed to follow other member advise and fly to Malaysia. When you come back via airport, I suggest that you prepare THB20k to show and a onward ticket, room rental as well.

Hi Barry. It won't work. The airlines explicitly do not allow you to fly Thailand-Cambodia-Thailand in the same calendar day.
Malaysia is ok and you won't have to mess with visas.

You can apply online for an eVisa to Cambodia, which you just print out and carry with your passport - no page used.

Don't know what country you're from, but I THINK some countries might give you a temporary travel document to tide you over.

Amornrat **********
In KL you can do that TRANSIT thing, just make sure you keep both boarding passes.
Amornrat **********
this I not sure, but you fly to KL and get one boarding pass, in KL you go to transit counter and get your second boarding pass. My husband just did it recently.
